EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a Northern Tartar Manchu woman in the scholarly surroundings of a Chinese scholar's studio, circa 1655. The woman, dressed in traditional Manchu attire, stands confidently in front of a desk adorned with scholarly tools and a vase displaying a beautiful landscape painting. The serene landscape painting on the vase, a common motif in Chinese art, adds to the tranquil atmosphere of the studio. The backdrop of the image is adorned with calligraphy, a revered art form in Chinese culture. Calligraphy was considered a sign of literacy, intelligence, and refinement, and the presence of these works on the walls of the studio underscores the scholarly nature of the environment. The woman's presence in the studio suggests that she is a scholar or a patron of the arts herself. The Northern Tartar Manchus, who ruled China as the Qing Dynasty from 1644 to 1912, were known for their patronage of Chinese culture, including calligraphy and painting. This photograph is part of an embassy record from the Dutch East India Company to the Grand Tartar Cham Emperor of China, dated 1655. The embassy was led by Jacob Goyer and Pieter van Hoorn, and the photograph provides a rare glimpse into the cultural exchange between China and the Netherlands during this period. The image offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the Northern Tartar Manchu women, their engagement with Chinese culture, and the scholarly pursuits of the time.
