Gezichten van mannen en vrouwen in verschillende fases van hun leven 1777

This 1777 etching by German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, titled "Gezichten van mannen en vrouwen in verschillende fases van hun leven," displays 18 individual portraits of men and women in different stages of their lives. The circular portraits are arranged in a grid, creating a visual dialogue between the figures. The work is an example of Chodowiecki’s talent for capturing realistic expressions, and provides a glimpse into the social and personal realities of the 18th century. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
