This etching, *Ruggiero en Angelica, vliegend op Frontin,* by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki depicts a scene from the epic poem *Orlando Furioso* by Ludovico Ariosto. The artwork is part of a series of etchings that illustrate the poem, depicting the knight Ruggiero riding the hippogriff Frontin, as he rescues Angelica from a sea monster. Chodowiecki's work is characterized by its delicate linework and attention to detail, creating a scene full of movement and drama, typical of the Rococo era.
