Vastgebonden vrouw wordt door een maarschalk gered van haar ontvoerder 1790

"Vastgebonden vrouw wordt door een maarschalk gered van haar ontvoerder," a 1790 etching by Johann Georg Wille, depicts a dramatic scene of rescue. A woman, bound and held by a man, is being saved by a marshal who raises his sword in defiance. The scene, set in a wooded area, is rendered in detail, emphasizing the tension and urgency of the moment. Wille's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and dynamism to the composition, showcasing his mastery of the etching technique. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popular genre of historical narratives that flourished in the 18th century.
