September 1777

"September" is an etching created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1777, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This small-scale print depicts three figures engaged in a seemingly idyllic scene. A man climbs a tree while two women gather fallen fruit at the base. The composition, characterized by delicate lines and meticulous detail, exemplifies Chodowiecki's mastery of the Rococo style. This genre of art celebrated the beauty of everyday life, often depicting scenes of leisure, domesticity, and nature.
