Biddend jong meisje 1797

"Biddend jong meisje" (Praying Young Girl), created in 1797 by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, is an etching depicting a young woman kneeling in prayer. The central image is framed within a circle and surrounded by four smaller vignettes featuring figures in similar poses. An eye within a triangle, a symbolic representation of the all-seeing God, sits at the top of the composition. This detailed print, typical of Chodowiecki's work, exemplifies the religious themes and sentimental style prevalent in 18th-century art.
