About the piece

Created by the Jesuit missionary and court artist Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining), this work depicts the Yongzheng Emperor and the future Qianlong Emperor in a quiet moment of exchange. The painting exemplifies the artist's signature 'Sino-European' style, combining Western concepts of chiaroscuro and perspective with Chinese materials and symbolic subjects like bamboo and scholars' rocks.
