Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1790 engraving, "Lodewijk XVI treedt gedwongen af als koning van Frankrijk," depicts the abdication of King Louis XVI. This historically significant event, a pivotal moment in the French Revolution, is captured in two scenes: the King relinquishing his throne before a group of seated men and his departure on horseback, possibly to a prison or exile. The artist's meticulous detail brings this pivotal moment to life, offering viewers a glimpse into the tumultuous political landscape of 18th-century France.
