Summary/Abstract: The Graphic Collections of the National Museum shelters an outstanding series of genre scenes by artists from 18th century, stamps depicting episodes of every day life from the period. The series of engravings presented allows a glimpse, a brief look at the charm of the daily life in the Rococo era, depicting families in moments of intimacy. Beyond the idyllic, pastoral presentations or the pathos, the simplicity and the sentimental scenes are impressive, remembering that the family life was and always remained the center of the daily universe, with its joys and sorrows.
