Description

A Chinoiserie diptych in which Asian swallowtail butterflies move among flowering branches in a soft Famille Rose palette, the blush of a peony at first light, the warmth of aged silk, the ivory of an eggshell glaze. These are the colors that traveled west on Qing dynasty export porcelain, entered the European decorative imagination, and became the visual language through which the West learned to see China's botanical world as ornament.

Both panels are executed in gouache on gold silk paper.
