Morgus en Karly 1783

"Morgus en Karly" is an etching created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1783. It depicts a scene of a knight and lady, likely a king and queen, walking through an arched passageway while a crouching figure, possibly a servant, observes them. This artwork exemplifies Chodowiecki's mastery of etching, showcasing detailed figures, nuanced shading, and a sense of dramatic tension. The small size of the print, measuring just 144 mm by 94 mm, emphasizes the intimacy of the scene. "Morgus en Karly" is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
