Ansver 1786

“Answer” is an 1786 etching by Danish artist Erik Pauelsen. It depicts a chaotic scene, likely inspired by a real event or political commentary of the time. The dramatic composition features a crowd of figures in an urban setting, some in distress, others reacting with anger or fear. The use of chiaroscuro enhances the sense of urgency and the emotional intensity of the scene. Pauelsen's work offers a glimpse into the social and political issues of the 18th century, exploring themes of power, violence, and human suffering.
