Maart 1777

"Maart" (March) is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a prolific German artist known for his detailed illustrations and engravings. Created in 1777, the artwork depicts a farmer plowing a field with two oxen, a scene of everyday life in 18th-century rural Europe. The detail of the farmer's clothes, the birds in the field, and the distant landscape captures the artist's attention to detail and the realities of rural life. This small-scale print, measuring only 107 mm in height and 65 mm in width, is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
