Panel with figures on a fenced terrace near a pavillion c. 1770 - 1775

This anonymous 18th-century porcelain panel, dating from c. 1770-1775, depicts a scene of figures on a terraced garden. The Chinese-inspired imagery was popular in Europe during the Rococo period, showcasing the growing interest in Chinoiserie, a decorative art style influenced by Chinese art and design. The panel's delicate brushstrokes and intricate details, such as the pavilion, fences, and figures in traditional garb, reflect the craftsmanship of the period and the fascination with the East. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the panel is a valuable example of European decorative art, highlighting the cultural exchange and artistic influences between the East and West.
