Porcelain Sale

Pieter Schenk (I) (possibly), c. 1690 - c. 1713

A topless man and woman lean over, evaluating a sea of Chinese porcelain. To meet the demand of ceramics in the Dutch Republic, the Dutch East India Company traded porcelain across an expansive network along the Indian Ocean Basin to the North Sea. Similar objects to those depicted in this print can be seen in the adjoining room.
