Need help with dating Japanese plate and text.

Wanted to date this piece but not much knowledge about Asian. Think it's japanese because of the clothing and hairstyles. Anybody an idea what period it could be and maybe what the text reads. Doesn't look really professionaly done so suspect that it's and export piece because of the holes on the back

Any info/input is welcome.

 

The clothing looks Chinese, but that doesn't mean it can't have been made in Japan.
It is recent, the usual Qianlong mark, but not Qianlong period.
It may have been mounted on a wooden stand.

 

The mark is modern Chinese, Qianlong Nian Zhi, according to this:

You beat me!

 

Great minds, etc.

 

Thx so much.. No wonder I couldn't find it
Thought it was Japanese.

I need to stay away from Asian arts. So difficult.

 

Very difficult. It is often more like science.
Since you're Dutch, there is a very good antiquarian book 'Chinese keramiek' by Nanne Ottema. In the early 1900s Ottema was conservator at de Princessehof in Leeuwarden, where most of the VOC related ceramics are.
There was a time when the Dutch knew more about Chinese porcelain than anyone in the western world, and Ottema's expertise stems from that time.
