Vignet til Samuel Richardson "Sir Carl Grandisons Historie" 1780 - 1782

This etching by Danish artist Peter Haas, created between 1780 and 1782, is a vignette for Samuel Richardson's novel "Sir Charles Grandison’s History". The artwork depicts a scene from the book, featuring a man and a woman seated at a table, presumably engaged in a conversation. The image is enclosed in a circular frame adorned with an elaborate floral design, a common artistic motif of the time. The engraving style, precise and detailed, reflects the artistic trends of the late 18th century.
