"Welgestelde dame overnacht in een herberg" (Wealthy lady spending the night at an inn) is an etching created in 1793 by German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki. The artwork depicts a well-dressed woman in a simple inn, suggesting a story of travel and social class. The scene showcases the detail and realism of Chodowiecki's style, known for its depiction of everyday life in the 18th century. The piece offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of the time, with the wealthy woman interacting with the innkeeper and other patrons, highlighting the contrast between their different stations in life. This artwork is a prime example of Chodowiecki's mastery of etching and a window into the social complexities of his era.
