"Rocaille met drie figuren in Chinese klederdracht rond een fantasievogel" is a 18th century etching by an anonymous artist that is now housed at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing features three figures dressed in Chinese-inspired clothing, and a fantastical bird with ornate feathers in a rococo style. The work is a fine example of the popular rococo style and exemplifies the interest in exotic Chinese culture present during the 18th century in Europe.
