Lanassa vertelt de brahmaan haar laatste wens 1782

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1782 etching, *Lanassa vertelt de brahmaan haar laatste wens*, depicts a poignant scene. A woman kneels before a cloaked figure, possibly a religious leader, while surrounded by others. The architectural setting suggests a temple or a sacred space, emphasizing the solemnity of the moment. Chodowiecki, a prolific German artist known for his intricate engravings, captures the emotional intensity of the scene through his use of light and shadow. The artwork's small dimensions (114 mm x 70 mm) underscore its intimate and introspective nature. This etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the life and faith of individuals in the 18th century.
