Oost-Aziatische man en vrouw aan een theetafel 1782

"Oost-Aziatische man en vrouw aan een theetafel" (East Asian Man and Woman at a Tea Table) is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a prominent German artist known for his illustrations and satirical works. The piece, created in 1782, depicts a man and woman seated at a table in a garden pavilion. The scene, filled with intricate details like the pagoda in the background and the ornate furnishings, exemplifies Chodowiecki’s masterful use of line and detail. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into European fascination with East Asian culture during the 18th century.
