Fragment of a wall covering with Chinese genre scenes. Foreground missing. Middle ground with a house at a rocky point and palm trees. Behind it terraces with pavilions separated by a red fence. On the left old men with children on their shoulders. On the right three women picking flowers. On a landscape background, at the top of a staircase, two distinguished gentlemen are seated, one of whom with glasses, while a man leads a calf. On the right a deer is caught by three men. In the distance mountain peaks and houses.
