Which artwork is from the early 15th century in China?

• A. Jar with Dragon
• B. The Pantheon
• C. Melencolia I
• D. The Annunciation

Answer: (A)

This question tests recognizing where and when an artwork was made. Early 15th-century Chinese art comes from the Ming dynasty and is well known for refined ceramics, often decorated with dragon motifs that symbolize power and good fortune. Jar with Dragon fits this profile as a Chinese porcelain piece featuring a dragon design, aligning with Ming-era ceramic traditions. The Pantheon is a Roman temple dating to antiquity, not China. Melencolia I is a German print from the early 16th century, part of Northern Renaissance art. The Annunciation is a common Western Christian subject found in European works, not Chinese porcelain.
