Rose-pink and white Canton porcelain cup with a lid and saucer, featuring pastoral figures and a gilt-outline

The central motif is the Fisherman (Le Pêcheur), inspired by a painting by the renowned Dutch artist Abraham Bloemaert, depicting a leisurely pastoral scene of fishing by the riverbank. This motif was popular between 1735 and 1755, and at least three different styles of border decoration were used, with the Baroque-style Du Paquier border being most common. This one is painted in rose-pink color ink.
