This etching, created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1787, depicts a scene from a story. A woman, Camille, is posing as a wealthy lord's daughter and giving alms to the poor in a public square. The scene is depicted with great detail, showing the woman's elaborate dress and the grateful expressions on the faces of those receiving her charity. This artwork is a fine example of Chodowiecki's ability to capture both the emotions and social realities of his time. The etching is now held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a prime example of the artist's work in the Rococo period.
