Vase with Figures in Landscape. Culture: China. Dimensions: H. 18 1/4 in. (46.4 cm). Date: mid-17th century.Although the source has not yet been identified, it seems likely that the scene painted on this vase illustrates a moment from a play or a novel, possibly a work with romantic overtones. In the center of the vase, a gentleman with three attendants appears to be shooing another man off his property. At the upper right, a young woman, probably a female member of the house, is peeking through an open doorway. It is easy to imagine an outraged father or husband stumbling across an assignation of some type. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
