About this work

Fragment of a wall covering with Chinese genre scenes. In the foreground a junk with crew. On the rocky shore four men and two boys, walking to the left, dressed in dark overcoats and conical white hats with red tassels, followed by four men, two of whom are on horseback. In the middle ground a terrace with a red gallery, in which women with trumpets and lanterns walk to the left, followed by women and children with parasols and musical instruments. Three Chinese children look over a wall. Background with flowering bushes and rocks, on which to the left a kite with thunder motifs, to the right a water buffalo is driven and children play with a ball (hedgehog?). Distant view with mountain peaks and houses. In the sky a bird.
