Party with Six Ladies and the Artist is a 1758 ink by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows six women in fancy clothes. One sits reading, another leans on a table, and the others stand or chat. Their dresses have big collars and lots of fabric. The artist is drawn in the corner, looking at them. The lines are scratchy and dark, like someone drew fast. It’s not painted—it’s etched into the paper. Next, check out the technique: etching.
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.
