This work, titled Maria met Kind, presents a quiet, interior moment that contrasts with the more boisterous military subjects often associated with the artist. The composition focuses on a man seated in a dimly lit room, occupied with a manual task, while a small child sits on the floor nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighting in this piece follows the tenebrist tradition common in Dutch Golden Age painting, where a single light source creates strong contrasts between the illuminated figures and the shadowed background. Duck employs a muted palette of browns, ochres, and deep greys, which draws the viewer's attention to the textures of the clothing and the simple tools scattered on the floor. The setting is sparse, suggesting a humble environment, and the artist captures the stillness of the scene with precise brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuck was a member of the Utrecht Guild of Saint Luke and his work frequently explored the lives of ordinary people. Unlike the grand historical or religious narratives favoured by some of his contemporaries, Duck preferred the observation of daily routines. This painting provides a look into the domestic sphere of the period, focusing on the interaction between the adult and the child. The lack of elaborate ornamentation ensures that the focus remains on the figures and their quiet occupation. The work is characteristic of the artist's ability to render atmosphere through shadow and subtle colour transitions, providing a window into the social realities of the mid-seventeenth-century Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/edward-waldo-forbes-pietro-pezzati\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEdward Waldo Forbes - Pietro Pezzati — Pietro Pezzati\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/shells-julie-de-graag\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eShells - Julie de Graag — Julie de Graag\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacob Duck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794158358863,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794168222031,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794168254799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794168287567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794168320335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794168353103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794168385871,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794168418639,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794168451407,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794168484175,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794168516943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794168549711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Maria-met-Kind_Poster_CompositorV1_1789530594377.jpg?v=1789531148"},{"product_id":"koning-in-aanbidding-jacob-duck","title":"Koning in aanbidding - Jacob Duck","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Duck, depicting a king in a posture of adoration with ornate robes and ceremonial vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by the Dutch artist Jacob Duck depicts a kneeling figure, identified as a king, in a posture of reverence. Duck, primarily known for his genre scenes featuring soldiers and elegant company, here turns his attention to a traditional religious subject. The figure is shown in profile, facing left, with hands raised in a gesture of prayer or supplication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe king wears a heavily decorated robe, rendered with meticulous attention to the texture of the fabric and the ornate patterns adorning the garment. Beside him, placed on the ground, are two vessels, likely representing the gifts brought to the Christ child. The etching technique allows for a high degree of control over the tonal values, particularly in the deep shadows of the king's cloak and the fine, cross-hatched lines that define the folds of his attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuck's approach to the figure is grounded in the realism characteristic of the seventeenth-century Dutch school. The facial features are rendered with individualised detail, avoiding the idealised forms often found in Italian Renaissance depictions of the Magi. The composition is compact, focusing entirely on the interaction between the kneeling figure and the objects before him. The background remains largely unworked, which draws the viewer's eye to the weight and volume of the king's form. This print offers a clear example of the technical proficiency of Dutch printmakers during this period, demonstrating a command of line and shadow to create a sense of physical presence within a small format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/compositie-met-elementen-van-de-turkse-tent-bij-de-watergraafsmeer-jan-otto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCompositie met elementen van de Turkse Tent bij de Watergraafsmeer - Jan Otto — Jan Otto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacob Duck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808197906767,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808210227535,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808210260303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808210293071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808210325839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808210358607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808210391375,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808210424143,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808210456911,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808210489679,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808210522447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808210555215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Koning-in-aanbidding_Poster_CompositorV1_1789670218907.jpg?v=1789670730"},{"product_id":"staande-koning-met-wierookvat-jacob-duck","title":"Staande koning met wierookvat - Jacob Duck","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Duck, depicting a standing king holding a censer, rendered with precise line work and historical costume detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by the Dutch artist Jacob Duck depicts a regal figure, identified as a king, holding a censer. Duck, active in the Dutch Golden Age, is known for his genre scenes and military subjects, though his graphic work often explores character studies and costume. The figure is rendered with a focus on the texture of his heavy, fur-lined cloak and the specific details of his attire, including a feathered cap and ornate footwear. The composition places the subject in a profile stance, with a faint, sketch-like architectural background suggesting a distant fortification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique employed here reflects the conventions of seventeenth-century Dutch printmaking. Duck uses varied hatching to define the volume of the cloak and the shadow cast upon the ground. The contrast between the light-toned paper and the dark ink creates a clear separation between the figure and the sparse environment. The censer, held carefully in the subject's hand, serves as the primary attribute, grounding the figure in a narrative context often associated with the Three Magi or similar biblical iconography common in the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a print, this work demonstrates the artist's ability to capture character through posture and clothing. The line work is precise, allowing for the suggestion of different materials, from the soft fur trim to the metallic surface of the censer. The print is a fine example of the smaller-scale graphic works produced by Dutch masters during this era, intended for collectors and connoisseurs of the time. The work remains a study in both costume and form, typical of the period's interest in exotic or historical figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/untitled-two-soldiers-on-horseback-etching-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Two Soldiers on Horseback, Etching) - Fine Art Print — Unknown Artist\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/milk-cow-paulus-potter\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMilk Cow - Paulus Potter — Paulus Potter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacob Duck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808412438863,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808447140175,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808447172943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808447205711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808447238479,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808447271247,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808447304015,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808447336783,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808447369551,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808447402319,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808447435087,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808447467855,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Staande-koning-met-wierookvat_Poster_CompositorV1_1789672116715.jpg?v=1789672433"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/collections\/jacob-duck.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
