Twee kinderen krijgen les 1778

This etching, titled "Twee kinderen krijgen les" (Two children receive lessons), is part of a series created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1778. The print, a small, intimate scene, depicts a man, likely a tutor, instructing two young children in a room. The man's posture and the children's attentive expressions suggest a formal educational setting. Chodowiecki, a prominent German artist, specialized in illustrating books and creating satirical prints, often reflecting social and political themes. This engraving, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a charming testament to Chodowiecki's skill in capturing everyday moments with expressive detail.
