"Falstaff liegt over zijn overwinning op Douglas" (Falstaff Lies Over his Victory over Douglas) is a 1785 etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki. The scene depicts a group of figures, a larger one, perhaps Falstaff, in the foreground, with a group of soldiers behind him. The etching, part of a series, highlights the German artist's talent for capturing the theatricality of a dramatic moment, and the detailed work offers a glimpse into the artistic landscape of the late 18th century. The etching is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and is a small, yet powerful, work of art.
