Chinese man en een tot slaaf gemaakte bediende 1682 - 1711

This etching by Pieter Schenk, dating back to the early 18th century, depicts a Chinese man and a servant. The detailed rendering of their clothing and the umbrella, likely a parasol, reflects the Dutch fascination with exotic cultures during the Dutch Golden Age. The print, which measures 103 mm in height and 68 mm in width, is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a valuable example of the artistic and cultural exchange between Europe and Asia during this period.
