Indfødte foran en palmehytte 1668

"Indfødte foran en palmehytte" (Native People in front of a Palm Hut), an etching by Christian Rothgiesser, depicts a scene of indigenous life in a tropical setting. The small-scale print, created in 1668, showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail, highlighting the figures' attire, the thatched hut, and the palm trees laden with fruit. This work exemplifies the European fascination with exotic cultures during the 17th century, providing a glimpse into the artist's perspective on the "other."
