The inscription on the current panel, depicting an Autumn scene, is from a series on the Four Seasons, recorded in Yuzhi Shiji, (Compilation of Imperial Poems), vol. 2, juan 55, dated 1755.
Although the poem was composed by the Qianlong Emperor, the calligraphy is based on that of Yu Minzhong (1714-1779). Yu was an influential official at court who gained the title of Zhuang Yuan having ranked first in the Imperial civil service examination in 1737, and was responsible for the compilation of Siku Quanshu (the complete Library of the Four Treasures).
Two similar panels depicting landscape scenes and also with calligraphy by Yu Minzhong are in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, published in Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum - Enamels (3) - Cloisonné in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Beijing, 2011, nos. 63 and 64. Another similar example with Yu's calligraphy, and representing Spring, is in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Enamel Ware in the Ming and Ch'ing Dynasties, Taipei, 1999, pl. 45. (Fig. 1) Being of the same size and with similar decoration, the current panel and the Taipei panel may have belonged to the same set.
