Dorothée Louise Viedebandt (The Artist's Wife) 1761

This engraving, "Dorothée Louise Viedebandt (The Artist's Wife)," was created in 1761 by German artist Georg Friedrich Schmidt. The artwork is a portrait of the artist's wife, Dorothée Louise Viedebandt, and depicts her seated in a chair, holding a book. The piece captures a sense of intimacy, as the artist's wife appears to be lost in thought. The engraving is a testament to Schmidt's talent as a portraitist and provides a glimpse into the lives of artists and their families in the 18th century.
