EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a traditional Chinese puppet show from the Qing Dynasty, showcasing the intricate artistry and skill of the puppeteer. Completely hidden inside a curtained theatre, the puppeteer deftly manipulates the puppets in a window above his head, bringing them to life with precision and grace.
The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon beautifully depicts this ancient form of entertainment, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of China. The attention to detail in the costumes and movements of the puppets is truly mesmerizing, transporting viewers back in time to experience this unique performance firsthand.
