EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print showcases a Dutchman tenderly holding his young child, a poignant representation of fatherhood and the close bond between parent and child. The intricately hand-carved ivory figurine, with staining sumi inlays, hails from the Low Countries, likely the Netherlands, and is a testament to the rich European and Asian artistic influences during this period. The Dutchman wears a coat and dress, typical of the fashionable apparel of the time, while the child is dressed in simple clothing, reflecting the practicalities of childcare in the 18th century. The figurine's detailed facial expressions and realistic textures evoke a sense of warmth and intimacy, making it a cherished object in any collection. This beautiful piece, with its Asian influences and European origins, is a reminder of the interconnectedness of continents and cultures during this era. Currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, this hand-carved ivory statuette is a stunning example of heritage art and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of clothing, accessories, and family dynamics in the 18th century.
