Qianlong period
Both of arched-top form with superlative use of the mirror-backed glass, one depicting a beautiful delicately featured European lady in primarily Chinese dress, wearing a floral, blue-ground silk robe and a winter ermine coat but a western-style scarf-headdress with ribbons and flowers, resting her arms on a small stool whilst smoking a long Chinese pipe in her raised right hand, seated on a bench near a side table Chinese with a bowl of fruit and a blue and white vase painted with a dragon and issuing cockscomb and chrysanthemums, at her feet a playful dog begs for attention, all set on a terrace with a view across a mountainous lake landscape with small islands and a distant building with steps to the water's edge, a large tree in the foreground rises just behind her head and disappears behind a tied lace curtain that stretches across the top of the picture; the other depicting another delicately featured European lady in the guise of a shepherdess seated in a coastal or lake landscape, wearing a floral white lace floor-length skirt and red jacket tied at the waist with blue ribbons and wearing a straw summer hat set with flowers and with two trailing ties falling to her shoulders, she rests her head coquettishly to one side on her raised right hand with her little finger to her mouth, two sheep and a ram sit in the landscape around her a ram amidst geometric rockwork to one side and a mountainous backdrop to the other.
25 x 18 3/4in (63.4 x 47.6cm) each, beaded hardwood frames (2).
