Alexis bij de lindeboom 1770 - 1775

"Alexis bij de lindeboom" (1770-1775) is a pen and wash drawing by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, housed at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a young man named Alexis standing in a landscape with a tree behind him. The scene is rendered in delicate, soft strokes, characteristic of Chodowiecki's style, and evokes a sense of romanticism. This intimate portrayal likely reflects a growing interest in the depiction of individual emotion and experiences in 18th-century art.
