The composition is thought to represent either one of the imperial tribute caravans bringing gifts to the Emperor, or more specifically, the flight of Emperor Hsuan-tsung and his consort Yang Kuei-fei to Shu in A.D. 756 during the rebellion of An Lu-shan.
The richly detailed image shows a procession of elegantly caparisoned horses and attendants moving through a mountainous landscape, rendered in muted tones that emphasize the painting's intended sense of antiquity. The piece reflects the refined narrative and figural artistry typical of courtly Sung and Tang traditions, known for their fine brushwork, balanced composition, and subtle drama.
Professionally framed by Framed by Franklin, a noted framer with locations in major U.S. cities, the artwork is presented in a sophisticated silver-leaf frame with an inner bamboo-style gilt molding. The contrast of metallic tones and textured surface complements the historical nature of the subject while adding a mid-century decorative appeal.This piece offers both historical interest and elegant decorative presence - an ideal addition to traditional, Chinoiserie, or mid-century inspired interiors.
