Tekening c. 1775

This drawing by H. Rolland, dated c. 1775, depicts a procession of Japanese men carrying various objects. The subjects are likely depicted in their traditional attire, highlighting the cultural practices of Japan. The artwork's use of watercolors gives it a delicate and detailed feel. The inclusion of a palanquin, a type of covered carriage used for transportation, suggests that the procession may be part of a grand event or ceremony. The work is a visual record of Japanese life in the late 18th century, offering insights into the culture and society of the time.
