"The Circumcision: Small Plate" is an etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1630 during the artist's early period in Amsterdam. This work is one of Rembrandt's numerous biblical scenes and depicts the circumcision of Christ, an event traditionally celebrated in Christianity on January 1st, known as the Feast of the Circumcision. The etching is noted for its small size, measuring approximately 9.5 cm x 14.5 cm, which has led to the designation "Small Plate" to distinguish it from another larger etching of the same subject made by Rembrandt in 1646.

In "The Circumcision: Small Plate," Rembrandt employs his characteristic chiaroscuro technique, using strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume. The composition focuses on the infant Jesus, who is presented at the center of the scene, surrounded by a group of figures that include Mary, Joseph, and the priest performing the circumcision. The figures are rendered with fine, delicate lines, and the attention to detail in their expressions and gestures reflects Rembrandt's keen interest in human emotion and the dramatic potential of religious narratives.

This etching is part of Rembrandt's exploration of printmaking, a medium that allowed him to reach a broader audience and experiment with various textural effects. "The Circumcision: Small Plate" is considered an important work in Rembrandt's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in conveying a complex religious event with intimacy and emotional resonance. The etching is held in several major collections and has been the subject of scholarly study for its artistic and historical significance within the context of Rembrandt's body of work and the broader tradition of 17th-century Dutch art.
