Glasmålningen tillverkad i Kanton, Kina under 1790-talet. Glasen till kinesiska glasmålningar fraktades till Kina från Europa, målades i Kina och såldes till kinesiska kunder, så småningom även till en stor europeisk marknad. Både ram och baksida är kinesiska, men motivet är målat för en europeisk marknad. En gravyr, troligen från Storbritannien, har utgjort underlag för glasmålningen
