"The Emperor of China" is a notable frontispiece created by Jacob van Meurs, which accompanies the account of the Dutch embassy to China in 1665. This illustration is part of a larger work detailing the experiences and observations of the Dutch diplomatic mission to the Qing Dynasty under the rule of the Kangxi Emperor. Jacob van Meurs, a prominent Dutch engraver and publisher of the 17th century, was known for his detailed engravings that often accompanied exploratory and cultural narratives of the time, providing a visual context to the textual descriptions.

The frontispiece itself portrays the Emperor of China in a manner that reflects both the artistic conventions of European engraving and the European perceptions of Asian royalty during the period. It serves as a significant historical artifact, offering insights into the cultural and diplomatic exchanges between Europe and China in the 17th century. The image not only captures the grandeur attributed to the Chinese emperor but also reflects the fascination and exoticism that characterized European views of the East during the age of exploration and early encounters between these diverse cultures. This work is crucial for understanding the visual culture of the period as well as the dynamics of intercultural representation and reception.
