TWO FAMILLE-VERTE RECTANGULAR PLAQUES QING DYNASTY, KANGXI PERIOD |

each with a figural scene enclosed by a brightly enameled scrolling floral border, one with two scholars meeting on a mountain path, one attendant standing by the dappled horse, the other attendant leaning against a tree and gazing at the sun setting beyond a distant  cloud-enshrouded rooftop, the other depicting a gentleman holding a bow, having just released an arrow into a goose plummeting headlong towards a terrace appointed with scholar's rocks, bonsai, and assorted plants, and two small boys delighting in the archer's feat, framed (2), coll. nos. 320 & 321.

Berwald Oriental Art, London, 2001.
