"Camille wijst haar oom de deur om zo Sir Robert in de waan te laten dat ze van goede huizen komt" is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki dating back to 1787, now held by the Rijksmuseum. This print depicts a woman, Camille, in a domestic setting, she is gracefully escorting a man, presumably her uncle, out of the door while a man, Sir Robert, observes from afar. The scene suggests a delicate social dance, where Camille is trying to deceive Sir Robert by presenting herself as coming from a wealthy background. Chodowiecki's detailed etching is a small-scale piece with an intimate and humorous tone, revealing social commentary on class and deception in 18th century society.
