Enthousiast gezelschap 1794

"Enthousiast gezelschap" (1794) is an etching by the German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki. The small, detailed print, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a lively scene of people celebrating in a group. Chodowiecki's signature style is apparent in the use of fine lines and cross-hatching to create depth and texture. This image is a great example of how the artist was able to capture the energy and excitement of a moment in time, and is an excellent example of his talent as a draftsman.
