明嘉靖 景德鎮窯青花嬰戯圖大碗|Bowl with children in a garden
Unknown
mid-16th century · Porcelain painted in underglaze cobalt blue (Jingdezhen ware) · Asian Art
The theme of boys playing was popular in Chinese decorative arts, as demonstrated by this blue-and-white porcelain bowl. Unlike carving and weaving, brush painting on porcelain gives artists more freedom to represent a variety of children’s facial expressions: delighted, charming, and sometimes mischievous.
