Röschen dankt haar vader 1796

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1796 etching "Röschen dankt haar vader" depicts a poignant scene of a young woman embracing her father, surrounded by their family gathered around a table in their home. The intimate scene, executed in the Rococo style, captures a moment of familial affection with delicate detail, highlighting the warmth and intimacy of the domestic setting. This small-scale work, measuring just 111 mm by 75 mm, is housed in the Rijksmuseum and exemplifies Chodowiecki's mastery of engraving and his talent for conveying emotional depth in his subject matter.
