The Hundred Guilder Print is a masterful etching with drypoint by Rembrandt, measuring 278 x 388 mm. Its popular name reflects the high price once charged for this religious painting. The piece, also called Christ healing the sick or Receiving Little Children, vividly depicts multiple scenes from Matthew 19, including Christ healing the sick, debating with scholars, and calling children to him. The rich young man leaving through the gateway adds narrative depth. With its dynamic composition, the work exemplifies Baroque artistry, blending detailed storytelling with expressive movement typical of religious imagery.
