Landschap met een jongeman in toga en een non 1781

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's "Landschap met een jongeman in toga en een non" (1781) depicts a young man in a toga standing opposite a nun in a landscape setting. The figures are depicted in a simple yet elegant style, characteristic of Chodowiecki's work. This etching is part of a series of illustrations for a book, exemplifying the artist's talent for storytelling through visual art. The composition's simplicity and subtle details, like the tree and the clouds, add to the scene's melancholic atmosphere. The work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artist's contribution to the artistic landscape of 18th-century Europe.
