  • Black Woman with Child is a circa 1650 full-length portrait painting by Albert Eckhout. It is in the collection of the National Museum of Denmark. The sitters are unidentified, since the purpose of the painting was not to convey the character of a specific woman with her child, but rather to describe an ethnic New World type. The painting featured as the cover of the book Albert Eckhout, Court Painter in Colonial Dutch Brazil in 2006, and then it appeared in the 2008 exhibition in Amsterdam called Black is beautiful: Rubens tot Dumas. Eckhout was one of six scientific artists invited by John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen to go to Brazil to document life there. Of the others, only Frans Post and Georg Marcgraf are known today. The doctor Willem Piso, who was on the expedition team as a naturalist, later together with Marcgraf wrote and published the book Historia Naturalis Brasiliae in 1648. The woman holds tropical Brazilian fruits, carrying them in a basket of African Bakongo weave. She wears an African Bakongo hat, but wears European jewelry and carries a European pipe in her sash. She rests her hand on the head of her son, who has a lighter skin color, which was to illustrate the fact that skin color can change and become darker with age. The landscape behind her is probably the port of Mauritstad (today's Recife). The pose with a tree is based on the ethnographical prints in the standard work on Guinea by Pieter de Marees. The painting is one of 24 paintings given by Johan Maurits van Nassau Siegen to King Frederick III of Denmark in 1678. This painting, along with its pendant, were copied multiple times. * Page from Zacharias Wagenaer's Thier Buch, 1641 * Pendant of an African man with tusk, sword, and assegai * Page from Historia Naturalis Brasiliae, 1648 * Inhabitants of Cape Lopez, illustration by Johann Theodor de Bry for Pieter de Marees, 1602 (en)
  • A Negra ou A Mulher Negra, é uma pintura de autoria de Albert Eckhout, produzida em 1641 no período de sua estadia no Brasil a serviço de Maurício de Nassau (1641- 1644), governador do Brasil holandês que posteriormente doou a tela ao Rei Frederico III da Dinamarca em 1654. Atualmente, a pintura pertencente ao acervo do Museu Nacional da Dinamarca em Copenhague. Ela faz parte de um conjunto de oito obras que representam as faces documentais e etnográficas da pintura de Eckhout. As telas, Homem Negro (1641), Mulher Negra (1641), Homem Mulato, Mulher Mameluca (1641), Homem Tapuia (1643), Mulher Tapuia (1641), Homem Tupi (1643) e Mulher Tupi (1641), revelam o mapeamento do pintor sobre as tipologias étnicas, botânicas e geográficas, na medida em que esses três repertórios são abarcados nessas representações. Há muitas discussões em torno do local de confecção dessa tela, cogita-se que o pintor possa tê-la produzido em uma de suas expedições a Gana (1637) e a Angola (1641), no entanto, ao atentarmos para complexidade dos componentes da obra é possível observar que essa entrelaça os estudos feitos nessas viagens aos realizados em território brasileiro, ou seja, a representação feita por Eckhout extrapola a dimensão documental, e realística, e assume uma complexidade narrativa que entrelaça os estudos etnográficos feitos do Novo Mundo ao imaginário europeu. Ainda no que toca a discussão em torno da produção dessa tela em território brasileiro, no documento de doação da coleção etnográfica de Eckhout ao Rei Frederik III, Maurício de Nassau certifica a confecção dessas obras no Brasil.
