Oval panel with figures in boats in a riverlandscape c. 1770 - 1775

This anonymous 18th-century oval porcelain panel, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a picturesque Chinese river landscape. The scene features figures in boats, possibly representing a journey along a waterway. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors evoke a sense of tranquility and the beauty of nature, characteristic of Chinoiserie art, a European style inspired by Chinese art.
