This 1776 engraving by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki depicts a monument to the German writer Christian Fürchtegott Gellert. The monument is a tall column topped with an urn and three cherubs. Three figures, likely symbolizing Gellert's work, stand in front of the monument, one pointing to a portrait of the writer on the column. This small engraving, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Gellert's lasting impact on German literature.
