Ya-Kou, petit tambour chinois, et le Cheng instrument chinois before 1828

"Ya-Kou, petit tambour chinois, et le Cheng instrument chinois" (The Ya-Kou, small Chinese drum, and the Cheng Chinese instrument), a drawing by Pierre Félix van Doren (1797-1856) depicts two traditional Chinese musical instruments, a small drum called Ya-Kou and a Cheng, or a mouth organ. The drawing is executed in pen and ink, and features the instruments surrounded by a decorative ribbon. The artwork provides a glimpse into Van Doren’s interest in Chinese culture and the artistic traditions of the East.
