Karl kust koetsier Franz op zijn snor 1782

"Karl kust koetsier Franz op zijn snor" is an etching created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1782. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a tender scene of a young boy, likely a coachman, kissing his father's moustache. This intimate domestic moment is framed by the stark, industrial setting of a stable, highlighting the contrast between work and family life in 18th-century society. The etching's realistic detail and expressive lines, characteristic of Chodowiecki's style, capture the warmth and affection of the scene.
