"Pastor Gros en de notaris" (1776) is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki depicting a scene from a popular story about a judge deciding between two women who are both claiming to be the mother of a baby. This etching is a part of a series depicting stories from the Bible and historical anecdotes, made by the artist between 1773 and 1776. It is small in scale, measuring only 94 mm in height and 54 mm in width, and housed at the Rijksmuseum. The work is representative of Chodowiecki's interest in the use of engravings to create popular visual narratives.
