Painted Mirror Depicting An Eastern Figure Riding A Deer, China, 19th Century
Chinese tabletop mirror made of richly inlaid wood, featuring continuous floral motifs along the entire frame depicting flowers within circular medallions, alternating with central rosettes in shades of brown.
The central panel consists of a painting on glass depicting a Taoist immortal riding a deer, an animal that symbolizes longevity in Chinese tradition. The figure wears sumptuous red and green robes decorated with gold motifs, along with a floral headdress, and holds a twig and a small vase; in the background is a landscape featuring trees, rocks, and traditional-style architecture.
The structure rests on an easel-style stand with volute-shaped uprights and carved corbelled feet, which are also decorated with traces of inlay.
