Chinese vaas met vier kleine beelden 1867 - 1935

This etching by Maurits van der Valk depicts a still life with a large Chinese vase and four small sculptures, created between 1867 and 1935. The vase is a prominent feature, adorned with elaborate patterns and floral designs. The sculptures, rendered in delicate detail, appear to be seated around the base of the vase. The use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the objects. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artist's mastery of etching and his fascination with Asian art.
