Himmels bedrog wordt ontdekt door de bouwlieden 1782

"Himmels bedrog wordt ontdekt door de bouwlieden" (Heaven's Deception is Discovered by the Builders), an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki from 1782, depicts a scene of deceit and intrigue. The image portrays a group of men, seemingly workers, gathered around a table with a dog at their feet. Their expressions and gestures suggest a discovery of wrongdoing, possibly related to the construction project they are involved in. This satirical engraving, characteristic of Chodowiecki's work, offers a glimpse into the social commentary and moral concerns of 18th-century society.
