Drie figuren in een tuin 1722 - 1784

"Drie figuren in een tuin" (1722-1784) is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke (1712-1784). The print depicts three figures in a garden setting, with a figure in the sky. It is likely to be a representation of a dialogue between a native Tabagoan, a Native American, and a Franciscan friar. The etching is held by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and at only 124 millimeters high and 79 millimeters wide, is a small but detailed work. This etching is an excellent example of Fokke’s meticulous style and his interest in the intercultural dialogue of the 18th century.
