From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Growing Family is a 1793 ink by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a family of six in a wooded area. A man and woman stand together near a tree, while three children and another woman gather around them. In the background, a small house and a church steeple peek through the trees. The title *Growing Family* hints this scene might show life stages. The artist used a technique that lets you see fine lines and shading. Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Daniel Niklaus Chodowiecki (16 October 1726 – 7 February 1801) was a German painter and printmaker of Huguenot and Polish ancestry, who is most famous as an etcher.
