Sebaldus Nothanker wint de loterij 1776

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1776 etching, "Sebaldus Nothanker wint de loterij", depicts a scene from a satirical novel by the Dutch author, Pieter Langendijk. The engraving shows three figures seated around a table, one of whom is being told about a lottery win. The scene is set in a room with an ornate fireplace and tiled stove. This etching demonstrates the work of the prolific German artist, who was known for his detailed and expressive engravings. Chodowiecki's work explored everyday life in Germany and beyond, and is widely considered a contribution to the Rococo style of art. "Sebaldus Nothanker wint de loterij" is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
