Markies stelt Edmund voor aan zijn vrouw 1784

This etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, entitled "Markies stelt Edmund voor aan zijn vrouw" (Marquis Introduces Edmund to his Wife), depicts a scene from a play. It shows a man in a powdered wig introducing another man to a woman seated in a boudoir. The scene is framed by an archway, creating a sense of intimacy. This print, from 1784, is a fine example of Chodowiecki’s skillful use of line and detail. The piece is held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
