African Musical Instruments, engraving (1728)
An engraved plate divided into four panels shows African musical instruments: a bow hung from a tree, a standing man holding a musical bow, a large drum, and a seated woman playing a drum. Fine line work on a pale ground gives the scene a documentary quality.
