"Inhabitants of Easter Island" is a notable illustration from the work "Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde" (Picturesque Voyage Around the World), which was published in 1822 by Ludwig (Louis) Choris, a German-Russian painter and explorer. The illustration is part of a larger collection of lithographs and texts that document Choris's travels aboard the Rurick under the command of Otto von Kotzebue from 1815 to 1818. The expedition aimed to explore the Pacific Ocean and its islands, with a focus on ethnographic and botanical studies.

Choris is recognized for his detailed and vivid portrayals of the indigenous peoples and landscapes he encountered during the voyage. "Inhabitants of Easter Island" is particularly significant as it provides a rare, early 19th-century visual account of the people of Rapa Nui (Easter Island), capturing their physical appearance, attire, and ornaments. This work is of great historical value, as it offers insights into the culture and society of Easter Island before significant European influence and before the population decline that occurred in the latter half of the 19th century.

The illustration, along with others in the collection, is characterized by its attention to detail and ethnographic accuracy, reflecting Choris's artistic skill and his dedication to portraying the subjects with respect and authenticity. "Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde" is considered an important contribution to the visual anthropology of the Pacific peoples and remains a valuable resource for researchers and historians studying the early contacts between Europeans and the indigenous populations of the Pacific Islands.
