Daniel Chodowiecki was a Polish-German illustrator born in Gdansk in 1726. He enrolled in the Berlin Academy in 1764, where he mastered drawing, engraving, and printmaking. Later, he became the Academy’s Vice-Director in 1788, working under the artist Bernhard Rode.

It was Chodowiecki’s etchings of everyday life in Berlin that made him popular in the city. His etching works numbered in several thousands, usually rather small. He would later gain national fame with his copper engraving depicting the murder of a Huguenot in 1767.
