Plate with figures in arbor

Design attributed to Cornelis Pronk Dutch

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 201

It is probable that the composition decorating this plate derives from a drawing by the Dutch artist Cornelis Pronk (1691–1759), who is known to have furnished designs to the Dutch East India Company. Pronk’s drawings were widely employed by Chinese porcelain painters as sources of decoration for porcelain intended for export to Europe.
