Pictorial print 1781 - 1791

This pictorial print, created between 1781 and 1791 by French artist Jean-Baptiste Huet I, showcases the chinoiserie style popular in the 18th century. The print depicts a fantastical, idealized vision of China, with figures in traditional Chinese attire amidst pagodas, bridges, and lush flora. The delicate red ink on the off-white background adds to the artwork's charm, capturing the whimsical essence of chinoiserie while illustrating the artistic and cultural exchange of the period.
