Creating famille rose ceramic plaque paintings is more challenging than traditional paper painting, as it requires two firings in the kiln, which poses risks of cracking or deformation. However, the color enamels used in ceramic plaque painting are more stable, and the texture is stronger. Ceramic plaque painting offers more depth and a three-dimensional quality compared to paper painting. Moreover, it can be permanently preserved, avoiding damage from insects and weathering.
The maker of this work used the famille rose technique and combined the traditional Chinese meticulous painting style with the western impressionist painting style to depict a landscape painting with the theme of mother love. Its style is innovative and unique. Its content is full of warmth and affection.
