"Twee voorstellingen uit Hermann und Dorothea van Johann Wolfgang von Goethe" is a pair of etchings by German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki. The work was created in 1798 and depicts scenes from Goethe's epic poem. The left etching shows a horse-drawn carriage on a country road, while the right etching portrays a group of people inside a home, highlighting the contrasting themes of travel and domesticity. The delicate details of the etching style and the subject matter, which speaks to the human condition, made these prints highly popular in the 18th century. This artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, offering insight into 18th-century German art and literature.
