Twee voorstellingen uit Familie Hellmuth van Hiemer 1798

"Twee voorstellingen uit Familie Hellmuth van Hiemer" is a pair of engravings by German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, created in 1798. The artwork depicts two scenes from the novel "Familie Hellmuth" by German author Sophie von La Roche, notable for its realistic portrayal of middle-class life. Chodowiecki's masterful use of line and detail in the engravings brings the characters and their domestic setting to life, capturing the intimate emotions and social interactions of the time. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the artistic and literary trends of late 18th-century Europe.
