About the piece
This exquisite 1738 painting on silk is a collaborative masterpiece by Giuseppe Castiglione and several Chinese court artists. It depicts the Qianlong Emperor in a moment of leisure, watching children build a snow lion and play amidst the winter landscape, skillfully blending Western perspective with traditional Eastern landscape techniques.
