About this motif
The Chinese House in Sanssouci Park is a prime example of the 18th-century fashion for chinoiserie. Gilded figures play music and drink tea around the round pavilion.
Kaiser's miniature shows the tea house with its green tent roof, golden figures and the lantern topped by a mandarin figure, with blossoming trees on either side. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
