Afrikaanse vrouw met kind en boomstam c. 1675 - 1725

This anonymous watercolor, dated c. 1675-1725, depicts an African woman carrying a child on her back and a large, wooden log. The woman wears a simple garment and beads, while the child is mostly nude. The piece is likely part of a larger series documenting daily life in a colonial African community. This watercolor, with its intimate depiction of everyday life, offers a glimpse into the history and cultural practices of early African communities.
