A pair of paintings mounted under glass.
These paintings depict various scenes of daily life against architecturally rendered backgrounds, which are depicted with great finesse.
The first painting shows the lifestyle of a Chinese aristocratic family. It shows a young boy playing in a large fish pond and a young servant tending to a birdcage.
The second painting depicts a lively scene in a garden with a traditional pavilion. On the right, an elegant group is gathered around a circular table for a reception or game. In the centre, a man appears to be approaching the group from the courtyard. To the left, under an awning, a woman sits with a child.
China, 19th century.
