Rolf ontdekt Suavilde, die in een grot tot Thor en Balder bidt 1793

This etching, *Rolf ontdekt Suavilde, die in een grot tot Thor en Balder bidt*, depicts a scene from the Swedish novel *The Adventures of Rolf*, written by August von Kotzebue. It was created in 1793 by German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, who is known for his illustrations and satirical prints. The scene shows the character Rolf looking on as a woman named Suavilde kneels in a cave, praying to the Norse gods Thor and Balder. This work is part of a series of illustrations that Chodowiecki created for Kotzebue's novel, demonstrating the popular interest in the novel at the time. *Rolf ontdekt Suavilde, die in een grot tot Thor en Balder bidt* is a great example of Chodowiecki's masterful engraving technique and his ability to capture the emotion and drama of a scene.
