This etching, titled "Gil Blas in gesprek met Pedrillo en kapitein Don Annibal," is part of a series of illustrations by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki for the novel *The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillana*. Created in 1783, the artwork depicts a scene from the novel where Gil Blas, a young man traveling through Spain, encounters two characters, Pedrillo and Captain Don Annibal. The scene is rendered with precise detail, capturing the characters' expressions and the setting's intricate furnishings. This work, like Chodowiecki's other illustrations for the book, is considered a classic example of 18th-century European book illustration, renowned for its clarity and expressive lines.
