Dish with European Man and Child
Not on view
The European interest in and reworking of Chinese designs and themes in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is often known by the French term chinoiserie, which can be translated as "Chinese-like." While there is no such term for the reverse trend of Chinese interest in European art, figures such as the man and boy on this dish attest to the knowledge in China of European imagery, possibly inspired by prints.
