Twee blinden struikelen over een boomstam 1783

"Twee blinden struikelen over een boomstam" is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a prominent German artist. This small artwork, measuring 149 mm in height and 94 mm in width, showcases Chodowiecki's skill in creating realistic and expressive scenes. The etching depicts two blind men stumbling over a tree trunk, a classic proverb illustrating the difficulties of navigating life without guidance.
