François Marie Isidore Queverdo's "Kiosk Chinois" from 1788 is an etching that showcases intricate, Chinoiserie-inspired designs, a popular style in 18th-century Europe. The print features a central pavilion adorned with swirling, organic forms, a dragon at the top, and figures engaged in playful activities. This design, likely intended for decorative purposes, exemplifies the fascination with Eastern aesthetics that characterized the period.
