Carl Ferdiner verrast Julie in het tuinhuis 1777

"Carl Ferdinand Surprises Julie in the Garden House" is an etching by German artist Daniel Chodowiecki, dating back to 1777. The scene portrays a tender moment between a couple, likely a romantic encounter, as a man, possibly named Carl Ferdinand, catches a woman, perhaps Julie, by surprise in a garden house. Chodowiecki's detailed style and use of light and shadow create a sense of intimacy and realism, highlighting the emotional nuance of the scene. The etching is a notable example of Chodowiecki's work, which often focused on everyday life and social commentary. It currently resides in the Rijksmuseum.
