Object description :

"Oil On Canvas, Canton School, 19th Century."

Young Chinese woman at her dressing table, 19th century canton school.
In this small painting, this lady of quality is in traditional costume, facing her mirror. We notice the refinement of his costume and his little shod feet, the little pots of make-up that so appealed to the Westerners for whom these paintings were intended. The pagoda decor with red lanterns adds to the expected exoticism. This painting treated in miniature is shimmering in color, the blues and reds bring out the rosy complexion of the beauty and we can say that this representation is adapted to European taste. Presented in its original frame, it has been relined because the support was very fragile.
