Blad met twee scènes uit 'De Kluizenaar' 1787 - 1828

"Blad met twee scènes uit 'De Kluizenaar'" is an 18th-century etching by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman, depicting two scenes from the play "The Hermit" by German playwright August von Kotzebue. The two scenes, "De Overtreding" (The Transgression) and "Terwijl", are arranged side-by-side, offering viewers a glimpse into the dramatic interplay of characters within the play. Portman's detailed portrayal of the figures and the surrounding interiors showcases his skill in capturing the emotion and intensity of the theatrical moment, enhancing the viewer's understanding of the play's narrative. The etching, now held in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable document of theatrical culture in the late 18th century.
