Biddende kerkgangers 1778

"Biddende kerkgangers" (Praying Churchgoers) is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a prominent German artist of the 18th century. Created in 1778, this small, yet detailed work depicts a scene of religious devotion within a church setting. The composition focuses on a group of people, their figures rendered with meticulous detail, engaged in prayer. The artist's masterful use of line and shadow effectively captures the solemnity and intimacy of the scene. The print is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
