Detail of a Vase with European Women and Children in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, August 2023
Title: Vase with European women and children
Period: Qing dynasty (1644–1911), Qianlong mark and period (1736–95)
Date: second half 18th century
Culture: China
Medium: Painted enamel on copper alloy, glass beads
Dimensions: H. 18 3/4 in. (47.6 cm); W. 9 1/2 in. (24.1 cm); D. 7 1/4 in. (18.4 cm)
Classification: Enamels
Credit Line: Bequest of Mary Clark Thompson, 1923
Accession Number: 24.80.316
Profusely ornate, this vase reflects Chinese interests in European imagery and pictorial techniques during the eighteenth century. Chinese artists used a new palette of opaque enamels to create shading that could replicate Western painting styles. The stippling on the sky and ground, as well as the horizontal lines on the surface of the body of water, may indicate that a European copperplate etching served as the pictorial source for the vignette.
