"Geboorteceremonie en huwelijksplechtigheid onder de Khoikhoi" (1729), by Dutch artist Bernard Picart, depicts two scenes of Khoikhoi (also known as the "Hottentots") life in Southern Africa: a birth ceremony and a marriage ceremony. The etching, on view at the Rijksmuseum, presents a stylized view of these rituals, which were likely observed and recorded by Picart. The detail in the work shows a European understanding of the Khoikhoi during a period of colonial exploration.
