About the Item

The drawing captures a scene of trade on blue and white porcelain, where a woman and a man are engaged in a transaction. The woman, dressed in traditional attire, stands with a poised demeanor, holding an object like bowl. Opposite her, the man is portrayed with an expression of intent, his stance slightly crouched as he presents a fish, a common item of trade in many cultures. The exchange seems amicable, as if part of a daily routine or a social ritual. The artistry of the scene is conveyed through the delicate ink lines that highlight the flow of the garments and the animated postures, typical of the meticulous work found in historical porcelain art.

It is believed the ship was a Chinese merchant’s cargo on its way from Canton (Guangzhou) to Batavia when it caught fire and sank. The merchant had ordered the goods on board for Dutch traders, who had limited access to China and its ports. * Porcelain for the European Market The Ca Mau Cargo consisted of numerous types of porcelain, chinaware and blue and white wares, all designed for the European market. Blue and white ceramics recovered from the cargo appear decorated with the so-called ‘Scheveningen landscape’, also known as ‘Deshima décor’. This motif usually depicted a traditional Dutch fishing village, executed in Chinese style. Chinese wares with Western motives were extremely popular and made to order and were known as ‘China de commande’.
