"Vrouwelijke personificatie van Azië voorgesteld als vrouw met tulband zittend op olifant" is an etching by Cornelis van Dalen II (1638-1664) from the 17th century. The print depicts a female figure, representing Asia, seated on an elephant, with a turban on her head. The scene highlights the historical European perception of Asia, using traditional imagery and symbolism of the continent. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating example of European art's engagement with the wider world.
