De Chinezen in hunne huishouding 1865 - 1875

"De Chinezen in hunne huishouding, No. 87," created by George Lodewijk Funke between 1865 and 1875, is a colorful lithograph depicting various scenes of Chinese life. The nine vignettes illustrate different professions and social situations, from a young woman in traditional clothing to a street vendor selling vegetables, showcasing the daily lives of the Chinese people. The artwork reflects a popular interest in exotic cultures during the 19th century and is a prime example of the "kinderprenten" (children's prints) genre popular in the Netherlands at the time.
