Ontmoeting tussen vrienden 1795

This etching, "Ontmoeting tussen vrienden" (Meeting Between Friends), was created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1795. The artwork depicts a scene of two men greeting each other in an outdoor setting, with two women and a young girl standing nearby. The detailed depiction of clothing, gestures, and the natural environment suggests a moment of friendly encounter in a genteel setting. The image captures the essence of social interaction and the importance of human connection, a common theme in Chodowiecki's oeuvre. The piece is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
