Begroeting bij binnenkomst 1778

"Begroeting bij binnenkomst" (Greeting upon Entry) is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, created in 1778. This small-scale work, part of a larger series, depicts a man and woman in an elegant interior. The man, with his hat in hand, bows deeply to the woman as he enters the room. The scene humorously captures the elaborate social etiquette of the 18th century, a popular subject for Chodowiecki's satirical engravings. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
