Creator/production credits

At least one painting bears a name in Chinese which could be that of the painter Qiu Ying (1494?-1552): the paintings could be after him or inspired by him. There was a great number of imitators of aspects of his work for the use of admirers of depictions of women at leisure: on this Suzhou (Soochow) school of painters see James Cahill, Parting at the shore: Chinese painting of the early and middle Ming dynasty, New York 1978
