拍品專文
On visits to my parents' home at Bassett Hall in Colonial Williamsburg, Peggy and I had come to appreciate a number of Chinese paintings on glass, which had been done for the European market in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Accordingly, when we saw this painting in a carved gilt frame at Mallett's in 1955, we were attracted to it. We have three or four other paintings on glass of approximately the same period, but none has as attractive a frame as this one.
