One of the most vivid visual records of the trade and cultural exchange between the Chinese on the one hand, and Western Europeans on the other, is provided by the ceramic sculptures and painted wares that each created depicting the other. These are sometimes loaded with cultural values and could be based on direct observation or prints.
This figure possibly derived from engravings of Dutch genre paintings, and was possibly made for domestic market for those curious about the characteristics of Europeans.
