before a horse screen, the other two on a terrace beside an open
pavilion, a large plantain at the center of the image and two playful
boys in the foreground amidst tables, one of stone slab form, and
stands supporting jardinieres with flowers, rockwork and with penjing
(bonsai), alongside a fenced square fish pond, the everted rims painted
with eight alternate cartouches of heart shape containing vessels and
scholar’s objects and oval shaped ones with paired birds and paired
squirrels, all unusually reserved on eight different textile cell grounds
centered by individual scrolling flower sprigs, ththe rim exteriors with
three simplified floral sprigs and the base with a double-encircled
underglaze blue artemisia leaf.
