Summary
One of a pair of blue and white plates, each painted with a man under a pine tree, a sampan to his right, the border with scroll panels and butterflies. See also DYR.C.243.b. 1770 - 1800. Probably manufactured in China for export to Europe. The border demonstrates inspiration drawn by Chinese artisans from European styles, in this case Rococo, in work they produced for European markets.
