拍品專文

The cartouches enclosing scenes of Russian peasants reflect the 18th century interest in ethnography and the lives of the people of the Russian Empire.

In 1768, J. Chaffe d'Auteroche published his three-volume work Voyage en Sibérie, illustrated with engravings by Jean Baptiste Le Prince who had himself visited Russia extensively.
The two scenes on the verrière, 'Swing' and 'Russian dance' are reproductions of Le Prince engravings. When copying the engraving 'Russian dance' onto the verrière, the porcelain factory painter made some changes to the composition and simplified by including only the main characters.
