Another reverse glass mirror painting clearly taken from the same source, depicting pheasants in a similar manner, and presumably produced in the same Cantonese workshop, is advertised with Ronald Phillips Ltd. of Bruton Street, and was published in Thierry Audric's Chinese Reverse Glass Painting 1720-1820, p.170 fig. 6.

Another example was sold by Sothebys in New York from the Rizk collection - Mr. Rizk was one of the owners of th Chinese Porcelian Company in New York and an export in Chinese export art and porcelain.

Our mirror painting was advertised by the important dealership Alfred Cook Ltd. in Connoisseur in July of 1962. This dealership was run by the two principles Alfred Leslie and Percy Cook at this time and had a clientele which included important patrons of the arts including J. P. Getty. They were one of a small number of highly important dealers clustered around the Wallace Collection in the Manchester Square in Marylebone.
