Achterzijde spiegel met steun. c. 1700

This 18th century, anonymous artwork depicts a scene with multiple figures, likely Chinese, painted in gold and red on a dark blue background. The painting is likely influenced by 18th century Chinoiserie style, a popular trend in Europe that incorporated artistic motifs from China. The figures are positioned around a stylized willow tree in a landscape. The artwork is a "reverse" side of a mirror, designed to be seen when the mirror is facing forward. The details of the scene and the gold embellishments suggest this artwork was likely made as a decorative piece for a wealthy European home.
