"Vrouw omringd door exotische dieren" is a 1718 engraving by Dutch artist Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759) that depicts a woman surrounded by a variety of exotic animals. The central figure is a woman seated on a throne with a book, surrounded by fantastical creatures, including a dog, a goat, a bird, and a mythical creature. The image is reminiscent of allegorical or symbolical art. The engraving is a classic example of the artistic style of the early 18th century. This piece is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
