Twee filosofen planten bomen 1772

"Twee filosofen planten bomen" (Two Philosophers Planting Trees) is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, created in 1772. The small, detailed image depicts two men planting trees in a field, with a distant cityscape in the background. The inscription "DIEU DONNE L'ACROISSEMENT" (God gives the increase) appears above the figures, suggesting a moral message about faith and the growth of nature. This delicate print is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and showcases Chodowiecki's mastery of line and detail in this small-scale format.
