Dish with European Woman and Child

China

Not on view

Although the subject of this scene cannot be identified, the chubbiness of the child and his lack of clothing suggest that he was inspired by European depictions of cherubs, the angelic figures often shown as attendants of Greek or Roman gods. It seems likely that the decoration of this dish was inspired by a European print of a goddess from the classical world.
