## Commentary

The Little Children Being Brought to Jesus \(&#34;The 100 Guilder Print&#34;\) c. 1649 Etching and drypoint, second state of two, 278 x 388 mm Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris &lt;a href=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/database/glossary/note03.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=300,height=400&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return false&#34;&gt;Catalogue number:&lt;/a&gt; Bartsch 74. This impression of the second state of the print in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, is inscribed with four quatrains Hendrick Waterloos \(d. 1664\) who stood close to Rembrandt in the late 1650s and 1660s. The hand-written poem treats themes that can be identified in the print: the kingdom of heaven, Christ as the ruler of all people, as a miracle-maker, as a healer.
