Specialist note


The scene of the group drinking tea is taken from an engraving by Johann Christoph Weigel (1661-1726), from a series of engravings titled Chinoiseries With Different Professions (Chinoiserien Mit Verschiedenen Berufen), published in Nuremburg between 1681-1726. A copy of the engraving is in the Herzog Anton-Ulrich Museum, Brunswick (museum no. JCWeigel Verlag AB 3.172).
