Miller dreigt Ferdinand met een cello te slaan 1785

"Miller dreigt Ferdinand met een cello te slaan" (Miller Threatens Ferdinand with a Cello), created in 1785 by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, is an etching that depicts a humorous scene from the play "Miller's Beautiful Daughter" by German playwright August von Kotzebue. In the etching, a miller is depicted threatening a young man, Ferdinand, with a cello, while a woman stands in the background watching in alarm. This etching, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Chodowiecki's talent for capturing theatrical moments with wit and precision.
