Spring Morning in the Han Palace
(China )
This is a copy of a famous handscroll (in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan) by the Ming-dynasty artist Qiu Ying [Ch'iu Ying]. It depicts imperial life at its most idyllic. During the years of the Qing [Ch'ing] dynasty, copies of Qiu Ying's painting were popular because they were an excellent guide to elegant behavior.
