"The Little Children Being Brought to Jesus," also known as "The 100 Guilder Print," is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created between 1647 and 1649. This work is considered one of Rembrandt's most intricate and celebrated etchings, showcasing his exceptional skill in handling light, shadow, and detail through the medium of printmaking. The etching derives its colloquial name, "The 100 Guilder Print," from a high price it supposedly fetched in the 17th century, reflecting its extraordinary value and the esteem in which it was held even during Rembrandt's lifetime.

The etching depicts a scene from the Gospel of Matthew (19:13-15), where Jesus is shown preaching to a throng of people, while mothers bring their children to him for blessings, despite the disciples' initial rebuke. Rembrandt's composition is remarkable for its synthesis of various biblical episodes into a single, harmonious narrative, including the healing of the sick, the teaching of Jesus, and the inclusion of the children, which illustrates the verse "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Measuring approximately 280 x 390 mm, the etching is noted for its delicate yet dynamic lines, the interplay of light and dark, and the emotional depth conveyed in the expressions and gestures of the figures. Rembrandt's mastery of etching techniques allowed him to achieve a painterly quality, imbuing the print with a sense of immediacy and intimacy that is characteristic of his work.

"The 100 Guilder Print" is held in high regard not only for its artistic brilliance but also for its theological interpretation, as it visually encapsulates the essence of Christian mercy and compassion. The print remains a subject of study for art historians and printmaking connoisseurs, and it is housed in several major museum collections around the world, attesting to its enduring legacy and significance in the history of art.
