Description

Elegant 19th-century engraving titled “Ladies of a Mandarin’s Family at Cards,” drawn by T. Allom and engraved by A. Willmore. The finely detailed scene portrays women in traditional Chinese attire gathered around a table playing cards, with an architectural pavilion and garden visible in the background. The composition captures the refined domestic life and ornate surroundings associated with Chinese high society of the period, as interpreted through Western artistic lenses.

The engraving is housed in a black and gold-trimmed frame under glass, with a label from Stix, Baer & Fuller Art Galleries on the reverse, indicating past restoration and framing. Light toning and a small watermark along the lower margin add to the antique character of this beautifully composed print.
