Drawn by j. Kuyper and engraved by l. Portman. This vivid composition shows a family walking through a tropical island landscape. The man carries tools and a pan flute, while the woman supports an infant on her back, adorned with traditional jewelry and wearing a woven grass skirt. A smoking volcano rises in the background, adding dramatic atmosphere and geographical context. The strong original hand color highlights skin tones, textiles, and natural surroundings with remarkable depth. Ethnographic prints from this important dutch series are increasingly sought-after for both visual appeal and cultural documentation, making this a striking and historically meaningful artwork for collectors.

Blank verso. Framing suggestions: a dark hardwood frame with a soft cream mat will complement the warm tones of the hand-coloring. Floating the sheet is recommended to display the full margins and title. Technique: hand-colored copper engraving maker: j. Kuyper (del.), l. Portman (sculp.), amsterdam, early 1800s publisher: johannes allart See less
