Alexander genezen en Lorchen en de vogel 1778

"Alexander genezen en Lorchen en de vogel" is a pair of etchings by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a prominent German artist known for his illustrations and engravings. Created in 1778, the work is comprised of two scenes. The left depicts a man in a bed with a group of people surrounding him, presumably a scene of illness and recovery. The right scene shows a woman and two children interacting with a bird, suggesting a moment of simple joy. These scenes are exemplary of Chodowiecki's work, known for its focus on domestic life and everyday moments, often with a sentimental and moralizing tone. The etchings are currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
