content: A chinoiserie-style design for a panel after Jean Pillement, depicting a standing man, holding a stick with a bird perched on the ring, hanging from the stick. A child sits at his feet. The figures stand under a double-roofed canopy structure within a landscape, with steps leading downwards. The steps and the canopy are supported by wooden beams and the trees that surround them. Below the vignette, supporting the structure is a turf of grass, plants, flowers, branches and logs growing from a rococo-style frond.
