This anonymous engraving, titled "Ontvangst op de Hoornse eilanden, 1616" (Reception on the Horn Islands, 1616), depicts a Dutch ship approaching the coast of the Horn Islands, a group of islands located off the coast of New Guinea, in 1616. The engraving provides a detailed depiction of the indigenous people of the Horn Islands, their villages, and their interactions with the Dutch explorers. It is a valuable historical record of the first Dutch encounters with this region. The engraving is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
