Schilderstuk van C.Bell, 1800 Kommandeur Jan van Riebeeck ontmoet de Hottentotten in Tafelbaai, 7 april 1652

Showpiece

Painting by C. Bell dated 1800. Depicts the first meeting of VOC (Dutch East India Company) Commander Jan van Riebeeck with the Khoi-Khoin (Hottentots) on 7 April 1652 at the foot of the Tafelberg. Striking is the fact that Bell erroneously portrayed the 17th century merchant Bartholomeus Vermuyden as Jan van Riebeeck.
