A Dutch model for a Chinese woodcut On Han Huaide’s Herding a bull in a forest Ching-Ling Wang Introduction: A newly discovered type of Suzhou print In the collection of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin is an unusual eighteenth- century Chinese polychrome woodcut print, titled Herding a bull in a forest (Mulin teli tu 牧林特立圖) by Han Huaide 韓懷德. This type of print is called a ‘Suzhou print’, after the city of Suzhou where many printmakers, including Han Huaide, were based in the early eighteenth century. The print was previously owned by Heinrich Friedrich von Diez (1751-1817) and came into the collection in 1817 together with the so-called Diez Albums, a five-volume collection of Persian and Islamic miniature paintings and manuscripts. The woodcut, measuring 61.2 by 113.8 cm, was printed in sections using three woodblocks that were joined to imitate the format of a Chinese hanging scroll. The entire print comprises three parts. The upper part is printed with an inscription written by the artist, Han Huaide; the middle part bears an image of a cow standing in the foreground gazing at the viewer, while the background shows European figures in a landscape. The lower part is a framed blank
