"The Virgin and Child with the Cat and Snake" is a 1654 etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, showcasing his skill in the medium of printmaking. This work, measuring 94 mm x 144 mm, is part of a series of etchings by Rembrandt that depict various scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. The etching is known for its intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus, capturing a moment of domestic tranquility and maternal affection.

In this composition, Rembrandt employs his characteristic use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, to create depth and volume. The scene is rendered with a delicate balance of fine lines and more robust, textured marks, demonstrating Rembrandt's mastery of the etching needle. The inclusion of the cat and the snake in the image has been subject to various interpretations, with some scholars suggesting that they symbolize the domestic and the wild, or good and evil, reflecting the theological undercurrents of the time.

The etching is notable for its departure from the grandiose and often idealized religious scenes of the period, instead offering a more personal and humanized depiction of biblical figures. This approach is emblematic of Rembrandt's broader artistic oeuvre, which frequently sought to capture the psychological complexity and emotional depth of his subjects.

"The Virgin and Child with the Cat and Snake" is held in several prominent collections and has been the subject of scholarly study in the context of Rembrandt's prints and his contributions to the Dutch Golden Age of art. The work continues to be admired for its technical proficiency and its evocative portrayal of a tender, maternal moment.
