Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1792 etching *Saturnus kijkt toe op het gevecht* (Saturn Watches the Battle) depicts the Roman god Saturn, with wings and a scythe, standing on a pedestal overlooking a battle. He is depicted in a dynamic pose, pulling back a curtain to reveal the scene. The artwork, part of a series on Roman mythology, highlights Chodowiecki's mastery of line and detail in conveying both drama and classical themes. *Saturnus kijkt toe op het gevecht* is a small but impactful work, emphasizing the power of the gods in human affairs. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
