Chinese Noble with Attendant and Child, Hand-Coloured Ferrario Costume Plate 1815 A refined early nineteenth-century hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicting a Chinese noble figure accompanied by an attendant and child, originating from Giulio Ferrario’s monumental ethnographic publication *Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli* (Costumes Ancient and Modern of All Peoples), published in Milan around 1815. This influential work represents one of the most ambitious illustrated surveys of global cultures produced during the Enlightenment period, combining artistic refinement with documentary curiosity about the wider world. The composition presents a dignified standing figure dressed in an elaborately patterned robe, holding a fan while accompanied by a servant carrying a parasol overhead — a visual symbol of rank and status within traditional Chinese society. The presence of a child adds narrative warmth and suggests familial or social context, transforming the plate from a purely ethnographic study into a lively human scene. The costumes are rendered with careful attention to textile patterns, colour contrasts, and silhouette, reflecting the European fascination with Chinese dress and ceremonial customs during the era of expanding trade and cultural exchange. Executed in precise engraved line and enhanced with delicate contemporary hand-colouring, the plate demonstrates the clarity and balance characteristic of early nineteenth-century Italian printmaking. Ferrario’s publication sought to educate European audiences through visual representations of different cultures, blending scholarly intent with decorative appeal. Today, such prints are valued both for their historical insight and for their aesthetic qualities, particularly within collections focused on Asian art, costume history, or early ethnographic illustration. The vertical format and harmonious palette make this engraving especially attractive for interior design settings. Framed individually, it serves as an elegant focal point; alternatively, it pairs well with other Ferrario Chinese costume plates to create a cohesive gallery wall in luxury interiors. Condition: Good antique condition consistent with age. Light age toning and minor handling marks to margins; plate impression visible. Colours remain fresh. Original embossed blind stamp visible, as issued, with possible light overlap into the image area. Framing tips: Dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory mat enhances the subtle colouring and provides a museum-quality presentation suited to refined interiors. Technique: Hand-coloured copperplate engraving Maker: Giulio Ferrario publication, Milan (Italy), circa 1815 Keywords: Chinese costume engraving, Ferrario costume print, Il Costume Antico e Moderno, antique China...

Anonymous. Korean, 17th century. Joseon period. Hanging scroll. Ink on paper. Seal: Shinso Dimensions: Scroll: H. 200 cm x W. 31 cm (79” x 12”) Image: H. 122 cm x W. 29.5 cm (48” x 11.5”) The grapevine came to China and then Korea from western Asia via the silk road trade routes. By the mid-Joseon period, it was one of the most popular subjects for Korean literati painters. Grapevines were painted as a singular subject or, less commonly, in combination with squirrels, which are associated with children due to their playful nature. Together, grapevines and squirrels embody wishes for abundant offspring and wealth. For the Korean literati artist the twisting vines, curling tendrils and round, plump grapes provided ample opportunity for expressive "brush play”. In this painting the artist has abstracted the scene and is seemingly unconcerned with discontinuities and proportion. Vines spring up from nowhere, grapes hang in random clusters and the squirrel’s head appears as if twisted backwards. For the vines and leaves we can feel a sense of speed in the brushstrokes, imparting a dynamic feel which is at once intense and animated. This contrasts dramatically with the countless tiny strokes of ink which realistically capture the texture of the squirrel’s fur...
