Dish with Japanese court woman and birds

Chinese with Dutch decoration

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 201

A Dutch rendition of a scene from a Japanese tale decorates this dish manufactured at the Jingdezhen kilns of southeastern China. The standing figure of a man wearing a stylized Chinese costume may have been borrowed from a Netherlandish print depicting what was believed to be Eastern modes of dress.
