Wandelende dames en heren 1780

"Wandelende dames en heren" (Walking Ladies and Gentlemen), an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki from 1780, depicts a group of elegantly dressed individuals strolling through a park. The detailed engraving, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the fashionable attire and leisurely activities of 18th-century society, reflecting the artist's keen observation of everyday life. The work's intimate scale, measuring just 109 mm in height and 60 mm in width, provides a glimpse into the social interactions and promenades that defined the era.
