Titelvignet til Smollett "Peregrine Pickles Tildragelser" 1786

This etching, "Titelvignet til Smollett "Peregrine Pickles Tildragelser" created by Georg Christian Schule in 1786, depicts a scene of intrigue and drama. The composition is dominated by a four-poster bed, with figures gathered around it, suggesting a private moment of significance. The use of dark tones and dramatic lighting heighten the sense of mystery and tension. The etching is a striking example of Schule's skill in capturing the essence of a narrative through visual means. It serves as a powerful illustration for the novel, "Peregrine Pickles Tildragelser," and is now part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
