Twee voorstellingen uit Der kleiner Cäsar 1782

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's "Twee voorstellingen uit Der kleiner Cäsar" (1782), a pair of engravings depicting scenes from the novel "Der kleine Caesar" by Friedrich Nicolai, is an example of the Rococo style. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Chodowiecki's detailed and nuanced rendering of intimate scenes. The delicate lines and light shading create a sense of realism while maintaining an overall sense of elegance characteristic of the era. The engravings are both charming and thought-provoking, offering a glimpse into the social interactions of the time.
