Twee voorstellingen uit de verhalen van Wilhelm Gottlieb Becker 1796

This etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, created in 1796, presents two scenes from the stories of Wilhelm Gottlieb Becker. The work, which is part of a larger series of illustrations, exemplifies Chodowiecki's talent for capturing emotion through detailed lines and delicate shading. The left panel depicts a romantic scene with a couple embracing under a tree, while the right panel shows a dramatic encounter between three figures. These two scenes, along with the German text beneath each image, provide a glimpse into Becker's literary world and Chodowiecki's masterful illustration style.
