"Infant Christ And St John The Baptist Playing With A Lamb" is a notable woodcut created by the Flemish artist Christoffel Jegher, who was active during the early to mid-17th century. Jegher is renowned for his exceptional skills in woodcut printmaking, a technique that involves carving an image into the surface of a wooden block, which is then inked and pressed onto paper to create a print. This particular work exemplifies Jegher's mastery in capturing intricate details and delicate expressions through the medium of woodcut.

The composition of the piece is both tender and symbolic, depicting the infant Jesus Christ and St. John the Baptist engaging with a lamb. The lamb, often a symbol of innocence and sacrifice in Christian iconography, underscores the future roles of both figures in Christian theology. The interaction between the two infants is rendered with a sense of innocence and playfulness, yet it carries profound theological implications, foreshadowing the sacrificial role of Christ and the prophetic mission of John the Baptist.

Jegher’s collaboration with Peter Paul Rubens, one of the most influential Baroque artists, significantly impacted his work. Rubens often provided designs for Jegher’s woodcuts, and it is believed that "Infant Christ And St John The Baptist Playing With A Lamb" may have been influenced by Rubens' artistic vision. The dynamic composition and the emotional depth of the figures reflect the Baroque style's emphasis on movement, emotion, and drama.

This woodcut is a testament to Jegher's ability to translate complex religious themes into accessible and emotionally resonant imagery. It remains an important example of 17th-century Flemish printmaking and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
