"Donkere man met een tulband en een pofbroek een giraf aan een touw vasthoudend" (Dark man with a turban and puffed trousers holding a giraffe on a rope), a lithograph by Dutch artist Isaac Weissenbruch, depicts a man standing next to a giraffe. The work, created between 1836 and 1912, showcases Weissenbruch's skill in capturing detail and realistic animal representation, and is a prime example of 19th-century printmaking. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, providing insights into the popularity of exotic animals and travel narratives in the 19th century. This lithograph, measuring 232 mm by 177 mm, offers a glimpse into the fascination with the natural world and the colonial encounters with Africa during that period.
