Dish on footring, spreading sides, brown rim. Originally undecorated, decorated in The Netherlands with a landscape in Chinese style in enamel colours and gold. In the foreground a spit of land with a man on a bridge, rocks at right, trees and a pavilion. To the left of this chickens behind a fence, three standing figures and another figure in a small house. In the background hills with a pagoda and a pavilion. The reverse is undecorated. The Dutch artist did his best to recreate a Chinese scene, incorporating many elements of Oriental porcelain. These include the motif of the man with a carry-pole on his shoulder, the composition of the landscape, the out-of-perspective pavilion at right and the way the spit of land is depicted. Moreover, some elements of the original were not well understood, such as the rocks at right, which look more like clouds. The painter combined all these elements in a Western way, thereby creating a chinoiserie.
