A delicately potted plate, finely painted in underglaze cobalt blue with a refined figural scene. An elegant lady is depicted carrying a young boy on her back within a rocky garden landscape enclosed by a fence. Her hair is elegantly arranged in a refined coiffure, and she wears a finely patterned, flowing robe, its graceful folds emphasising the elegance and sophistication of the figure.
The reverse is decorated with two mountainous rock formations, while the centre bears a fang ding (方鼎) mark within a double circle. Chinese porcelain decorated with large-scale figural scenes, such as the present dish, is less commonly encountered and is considered comparatively rare.
盤胎體輕薄，盤心以青花繪庭園仕女嬰戲圖。一位仕女背負幼童，立於欄杆圍繞的山石庭園之中。仕女髮髻梳理精緻，身着細密紋飾的曳地長裙，衣褶線條流暢，姿態端莊優雅。
外壁分繪兩組山石，底心青花雙圈內繪方鼎紋款。此類以大幅人物場景為主題的瓷盤相對少見，尤顯珍貴。
