Pijprokende zwarte man in een lijst met ornamenten 1683 - 1783

This anonymous 18th-century etching from the Rijksmuseum, titled "Pijprokende zwarte man in een lijst met ornamenten," depicts a Black man in a decorative frame. The man is seated on a stone, smoking a pipe, and is surrounded by stylized flora and fauna. The intricate frame design, with serpentine scrolls and floral motifs, showcases the artistic trends of the period and the growing interest in exotic themes. The small size of the work suggests it may have been a design element for a larger project or a collector's item.
