Schilder in zijn atelier met pop 1743 - 1801

"Schilder in zijn atelier met pop" is an etching created by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki between 1743 and 1801. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a painter working in his studio, using a jointed anatomical doll as a model. This depiction is a fine example of 18th-century artistic practice, where artists relied on such tools to study and recreate the human form. The scene is rendered in meticulous detail, showcasing Chodowiecki's mastery of etching and his keen observation of everyday life. The small size of the etching (100mm x 130mm) contributes to its intimate and detailed character.
