Man verlaat zijn huis in de winter 1779

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki’s 1779 etching "Man verlaat zijn huis in de winter" depicts a man leaving his home in a snowy landscape. This small-scale, detailed work, part of a series on daily life in 18th century Germany, highlights the artist's interest in capturing ordinary moments. The meticulous rendering of the man’s clothing and the environment creates a sense of realism. This piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum and serves as a testament to Chodowiecki's mastery of the etching technique.
