Yorick en de dame worden in hun gesprek onderbroken door een Fransman 1783

This etching, "Yorick en de dame worden in hun gesprek onderbroken door een Fransman," by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, portrays a scene of social interaction. Created in 1783, the piece depicts a man and woman engaged in conversation, interrupted by a passing Frenchman. The detailed lines and subtle shading, characteristic of Chodowiecki's style, bring a sense of realism to the scene. This small work, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into 18th-century social customs and the artist's skill in capturing everyday moments.
