Tuin met grot in Macao 1812

"Tuin met grot in Macao" (1812), a detailed etching by Daniël Veelwaard, depicts a scenic garden with a grotto in Macao. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, was likely a part of a larger illustration series accompanying the "Reise om de Wereld," a travelogue recounting the journey of Captain Adam Johann von Krusenstern around the globe. The etching, with its refined lines and subtle shading, provides a glimpse into the beauty of Macao's landscape as experienced during the early 19th century.
