Twee voorstellingen voor Jakob und sein Herr van Diderot 1791

This etching, created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1791, features two scenes from the story of Jakob and his master from the novel "Jacques the Fatalist and His Master" by Denis Diderot. The left panel depicts a man and his master having a conversation with a woman, while the right panel shows a woman in a bed with a man sitting on a chair beside her. The scenes are presented in a framed format, with the right scene being contained within a circle. The etching is a fine example of Chodowiecki's detailed and expressive style, a characteristic of his illustrative work. The composition is intimate and engaging, drawing the viewer into the unfolding narrative of the story.
