content: Chinoiserie scene. On a small boat, a standing young woman holds a child at the back of the boat; at the front of the boat, an older, bearded man is rowing while a younger man with a queue looks out. The boat is placed in a landscape with rocks, pagodas, and palm trees. This composition is included in the tapestry made by the Manufacture royale de Beauvais after a design by François Boucher, called "La Pêche Chinoise." The plate is signed.
