This musician rococo-scene is made after a print of Louis Surugue (1686–1762) that displays on its self an important painting of Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684–1721). Surugue was one of the leading French reproductive engravers of the early 18th century and frequently engraved works after Watteau and his contemporaries.
Normally those 'chine de commande' production are fully painted in China. The central decoration of this cup and saucer is most likely made in Amsterdam. The so called Dutch decoration 'Amsterdams Bont' was popular in the early 18th century. In the main city of Holland they sometimes overpainted and re-fired Chinese blue and white wares to maken them more colorful. They also decorated plain white Chinese porcelain dishes.
The border of this cup and saucer is made by a Chinese hand; a hybrid of Chinese and European enameling on Chinese porcelain!
We can see a seated young woman in fashionable dress holds a sheet of music, suggesting she is singing or preparing to sing. A musician on the right plays a long-necked lute, probably a theorbo or archlute, an instrument popular in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On the left there is probably an oriental figure depicted wearing a large turban, leans over the young woman. The two children watch the performance, in a leisurely family atmosphere.
