These subjects are taken from the album Chinoiseries, engraved by J.B. Pillement after Aveline. The Aubusson tapestry factory also had a wall hanging entitled 'Chinoiserie' made in the 1770s after Pillement, showing chinoiserie-style characters on a golden yellow background. Some 1740s porcelain designs from the Meissen factory also feature polychrome scenes on a gold background.
