Textile Panel of Chintz
The painted design of this Indian chintz emulates the intricate lace patterned woven silks created in Europe in the 1720s. Painted cottons inspired by the lace-patterned silks were popular in both Asia and Europe, but each region had particular preferences regarding the execution of the design. This chintz displays a delicate pattern augmented with gold leaf. Similar examples have been found in Dutch collections.
