Associated Names

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki

Artist, German, 1726 - 1801

There is a drawing of an interior scene. The scene features a group of chairs and a framed image. The room is dimly lit, with tall-backed chairs on a tiled floor and framed pictures on the walls. There is a rectangular table or pedestal in the center. Light from an unseen source illuminates part of the room, possibly from a window. Fine lines and crosshatching are used for shading and texture, creating depth and perspective in the drawing.
