拍品專文

Dr. Pieter Biesboer dates this tile picture 1620-1640 and states that this is a very early and unusual example of chinoiserie. The gentleman is described as a dancing buffoon (Zot) and the flowering vases are related to Haarlem tiles from circa 1630.

The Dutch and the Portuguese were long time opponents in their trade contacts with China. This tile picture could be seen as a caricatural Dutch propaganda statement directed against the Portuguese (the "buffoon" in the image) trying to lure the Chinese into their sphere of influence.
