EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a sketch by Jan Brandes, titled "Butter trade in Ceylon, 1785-1786." The drawing depicts an intriguing scene of a Sinhalese woman and a butter seller engaged in a negotiation inside a cluttered room. The Dutch artist, Jan Brandes, masterfully captures the essence of the bustling trade in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the 18th century. The woman, dressed in traditional South Asian attire, is seen examining a pot filled with butter, her intense gaze focused on the merchant. The seller, with a birdcage in the background, appears eager to close the deal. The scene is filled with the untidy mess of pots, papers, and various items, reflecting the chaotic yet vibrant atmosphere of the trade. Brandes' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate lettering on the walls, the textured birdcage, and the realistic rendering of the birds inside. The use of ink, pencil, and watercolor paint adds depth and texture to the sketch, creating a rich and immersive experience for the viewer. The scene takes place indoors, suggesting that the trade of butter was not limited to outdoor markets but also took place in private spaces. The drawing offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the merchants and traders in Ceylon during this period, providing valuable insights into the cultural and economic exchanges that took place between the Low Countries (now Netherlands) and Asia. This sketch is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 18th century and the fascinating history of trade between Europe and Asia. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the proud owner of this precious piece of history, which continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
