EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, depicts the eldest son of the Chinese Emperor, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Old Summer Palace, Yuanming Yuan. The Emperor's son, dressed in traditional Chinese robes, sits comfortably on a garden bench, smoking a tobacco pipe in the company of his wife. The tranquility of the scene is further accentuated by the presence of his wife, who delicately plucks the strings of her pipa, a traditional Chinese musical instrument. An attendant, dressed in elegant Chinese attire, stands nearby, adding to the sense of refinement and elegance. The Old Summer Palace, Yuanming Yuan, was a grand imperial garden and palace complex located in Beijing, China. It was renowned for its beautiful gardens, palaces, and lakes, and was a favorite retreat for the Chinese imperial family. This engraving, taken from the seminal work 'China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc.' by Henri-Leonard Jeans Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton, provides a fascinating glimpse into the private lives of the Chinese imperial family during the early 19th century. The intricate details of the clothing, the setting, and the expressions on the faces of the figures in the engraving are all testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver and the painstaking process of creating a hand-colored copperplate engraving.
