A fine pair of Chinese gilt-decorated famille rose 'Autumn' plates with troubadours, Qianlong
Dia.: 22,8 cm
Ref.:
- Bonham's New York, 24 January 2023, 'Cohen and Cohen 50 Years of Chinese Export Porcelain', lot 77, for a single, identical example. (sold USD 3.570,00) ( link)
- Minneapolis Institute of Art, Accession Number 95.98.85, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Leo A. Hodroff, for a single, identical example. ( link)
The print source for this design was identified by Mr. W. Motley in 2019. The image is from an engraving of Autumn from The Seasons by Johann Georg Hertel of circa 1750, based on four gouaches by Johann Esaias Nilson (1721-1788). Two others from the series, Spring and Summer are also found on Chinese export items. The unusual rococo border decoration on the plates is also found framing the prints.
The design however is clearly based on the fashion in the eighteenth century for a genre of painting, fetes galantes, popularized by artists like Watteau and Lancret, in which many figures populate an idyllic pastoral landscape and enjoying music, reading or picnics. (Source: Mr. W. Motley)
