Vrouwelijke personificatie van werelddeel Azië als vrouw met tulband en sabel in landschap met kamelen 1648 - 1664

This etching, created by Cornelis van Dalen II between 1648 and 1664, depicts the personification of Asia as a woman in a turban holding a saber. She is positioned in a landscape with camels and a distant city. This artwork is part of a series of etchings by van Dalen depicting the continents as female figures. The artist's attention to detail in the landscape and the figure's attire creates a sense of exoticism and grandeur, reflecting the perception of Asia as a land of mystery and wealth in 17th-century Europe. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
