object type: Reverse glass painting in original Chinese gilt frame, in style of Louis XVI. Depicting two seated women in an interior. Two women are depicted on a rug, one of whom is seated on a cushion and is being offered a drink by the other kneeling in front of her, holding a tall drinking vessel and a bottle.
