This charming depiction of a young lady is closely related to a smaller-scale reverse-painted mirror picture illustrated in Graham Child's World Mirrors 1650-1900 (London, 1990), pp. 367 & 380, fig. 827, though in that version the figure does not appear to be pregnant. Child dates the latter as Qianlong period, circa 1770. The following five lots were all acquired with this lot at the North Mymms house sale in 1979.
