Hundred Guilder Print

Prints and Drawings

The Hundred Guilder Print is an etching with drypoint by Rembrandt, measuring 278 by 388 millimeters, whose popular name comes from the large sum of money supposedly once charged for it. Also called Christ Healing the Sick, it depicts multiple events from the Gospel of Matthew chapter 19, including Christ healing the sick, debating with scholars, and calling children to come to him.
