Lot Essay
In 1734 the Dutch East India Company (VOC) commissioned the well-known artist Cornelis Pronk (1691-1759) to design patterns to be made in Chinese porcelain. Four official designs were made and most were made in several colour palettes that were used for different forms, from small vases to garnitures, large basins and dinner services. Each design reflected a romantic European vision of Chinese life. Pronk's 'La Dame au Parasol' was his first design for the VOC and is his most well-known.
