A Chinese export mirror painting of ladies with a child, 19th century
the glass mirror painting depicting three ladies in courtly dresses and a young boy holding a fruit in his right hand, all the ladies preparing to walk into the room to the left, one lady holding a fan being stopped by the boy whose right hand points to the garden to the right, the painting within an old lacquered wood frame, possibly original
The scene depicted here is most likely a 'generic' one rather than based on a specific incident from Chinese romance.
