In the picture, a woman in traditional Chinese clothing, holding a round fan, is interacting with several children around her. It represents an ideal of harmony and family happiness. The children are vivid and show a joyful atmosphere.
The banana, large flowers, potted plants, and vine decorations in the painting are all common symbolic elements in Chinese gardens. The fountain sculpture and flowing water below symbolize abundance and tranquility and have a strong decorative effect.
The grille in the background, the porcelain vase, and the bonsai on the table reflect Europe's idealized reproduction of Chinese gardens and utensils.
The arched floral decoration above, with complex flower patterns, is a typical European Rococo decorative technique, which perfectly combines with the Chinese style theme. See less
