Sophie schrijft een brief 1777

"Sophie Writes a Letter" (1777) is an etching by German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki (1726-1801), depicting a woman seated at a desk composing a letter while a man, perhaps her lover, stands nearby holding a book. This intimate scene is rendered in Chodowiecki's characteristic detailed style, showcasing the elegance of the period and the couple's tender exchange. The work is part of a series of etchings titled "The Life of a Young Lady," offering a glimpse into the daily routines and social interactions of 18th-century society.
