Bowl with an image of the cherry-pickers c. 1750 - 1774

This small, porcelain bowl, dating back to the mid-18th century, features a delightful scene of two figures picking fruit from a tree. The bowl, crafted in the "Famille Rose" style, showcases delicate hand-painted details in vibrant colors, a testament to the skilled artistry of the anonymous Chinese artisan. "Famille Rose" is a type of Chinese porcelain that was produced during the Qing Dynasty. The delicate brushwork and the vibrant colors of the painting are typical of this style. This small bowl, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, serves as a charming reminder of the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the Chinese porcelain industry during this period.
