Catalogue Note
Le thème des chinoiseries connut un essor considérable à la fin du XVIIIe et au début du XIXe siècle, s'inspirant grandement des compositions de François Boucher (1703-1770). Un groupe très proche figurant un Chinois coiffant une femme fut parfois attribué à Josse-François-Leriche (1738-1812) qui réalisa de nombreux modèles de biscuits pour la Manufacture de Sèvres.
