Kinesisk målning på rispapper. Ornament för vasmålning. Föreställer en man (jfr. 40.7.1.c.) /Gåva av frk Hedvig Wetterberg-Turrif, Göteborg/.

(se engelsk text)

Frk. H. Wetterberg-Turrif, som den 27.4.40 skänkte figurserien 40.7.1 a-e hade haft den i sin ägo länge. Till figurerna hörde den på omstående sida skrivna engelska texten, daterad July 1907, förmodligen det år figurerna sändes till Europa:

"July, 1907.

The Chinese types were a present given to W G M in Hongkong. They were considered good &valuable. They were intended for ornaments to vases. The rice paper around the figures drops away when the figures have been fixed on the vase, or in framed border of picture. It is regrettable that one or two have suffered, but I believe those which have split can be so fixed as to hide the blemish. One - that of the old gentleman /40.7.1.e/ suffers from a loss about the feet of figure. That is not so material. H C M"
