Witness Clara the Rhinoceros!
About this piece
A rhinoceros stands majestically in a lush landscape in Assam, 1741. To the right, two men of African descent are depicted shooting arrows at a rhinoceros engaged in a fierce battle with an elephant. On the other side, a ship sails out of a bustling harbor. In the margin, there's a portrait of Douwe Mout van der Meer. Above, a verse in German complements the scene. Titles are presented in Latin, French, Dutch, and English.
