A JAPANESE SCROLL PAINTING, KAKEMONOEDO PERIOD OR LATER, 19TH CENTURY In ink and colour on paper, depicting a Dutch tradesman and his attendant, the man wearing a dark coat and hat and holding a small feather fan, the man behind him carrying a brass horn, two red seal marks to the bottom right, in a tomobako wood box, 83cm x 28cm. (2)This painting is in the style of 18th c. portraits of Dutch East-India Company employees living on the island of Dejima. The men wear long coats and tricorn hats, and are often depicted with attendants. These are nearly always of a much shorter stature, probably to emphasise the importance of their Western masters.
