Robert hoort Luise piano spelen 1799

"Robert hört Luise Piano spielen" is an etching by German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, created in 1799. It portrays a man, likely Robert, standing outside a doorway, listening intently to a woman, likely Luise, playing the piano inside. The work is a fine example of Chodowiecki's skill in capturing intimate moments of daily life, and it exemplifies the Rococo style's emphasis on elegant and sentimental themes. The small dimensions of the etching, 123 mm by 85 mm, add to the intimacy of the scene and suggest a personal connection between the viewer and the depicted moment. The etching is currently held at the Rijksmuseum.
