"Frederik II bedankt de kapucijner monniken in Breslau", a 1788 engraving by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, depicts the Prussian King Frederick II acknowledging a group of Capuchin monks. This small, detailed work, measuring 124 mm by 62 mm, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the ceremonial scene. The composition features a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the contrasting figures of the King and the monks. This scene, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's talent for depicting historical events with both accuracy and artistic finesse.
