Charakteristik Friedrichs II (Part III) 1800

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1800 engraving "Charakteristik Friedrichs II (Part III)" is a satirical depiction of Frederick the Great, the King of Prussia. The print features four scenes, each portraying Frederick in a humorous light. The scenes, while depicting military scenes, also showcase the King's arrogance and folly in a manner both satirical and entertaining. The print reflects the artist's mastery of etching and engraving, with detailed renderings of the figures and their costumes. Chodowiecki's work, both satirical and historically relevant, is a valuable insight into the era of Frederick the Great.
