Vluchtende man met mand 1796

"Vluchtende man met mand" (1796) is a small etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki. It depicts a man in profile, walking away from the viewer, carrying a basket on his shoulder. The detail of the man's clothing and the small shrub in the background suggest that it is a scene from everyday life. The artwork, housed at the Rijksmuseum, measures only 25 mm in height and 21 mm in width, showcasing Chodowiecki's mastery of detail and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in a small format.
