Chinese Festival

anonymous, c. 1715 - c. 1730

Everyone loves a good spectacle, especially if it involves some horseplay. A wrestling match draws a crowd of revellers, including a street vendor selling snacks (probably silkworm pupae) and a young boy perched on a tree for a better view. Even a public official watches the merrymaking from inside his pavilion.
