Description:

Chinoiserie scene. In a landscape, a woman stands holding a fan and looking down to her left at three children: one gestures, one rides a hobby horse, and one pets a small animal. At the front edge of the landscape is a fountain with a dragon spraying water, framed by other foliage that blurs into the background. The plate is signed.
