Amalia alleen in de tuin 1782

"Amalia alleen in de tuin" (Amalia Alone in the Garden) is an etching created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1782. The artwork features a solitary woman, likely Amalia, standing in a lush garden, surrounded by trees and foliage. The woman is dressed in the fashion of the time, a long, flowing dress and a hat. The small size and detailed lines of the etching, which is on display at the Rijksmuseum, suggest that the work was likely meant for personal viewing, perhaps as a sentimental keepsake. The artwork exemplifies Chodowiecki’s skill in capturing the details of everyday life in the 18th century.
