"Bedekt met veren vlucht Niklas weg voor de honden" (Covered with feathers Niklas flees from the dogs) is an etching created in 1791 by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki. This small work depicts a scene where a man, likely Niklas, is being chased by a pack of dogs. He is partially clad, covered in feathers and appears to be fleeing from two men who watch from a distance. Chodowiecki was a prolific artist, renowned for his illustrations and etchings that often depicted scenes from everyday life, often with a satirical tone. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies his talent for capturing a moment of action with great detail and dramatic flair.
