Handscroll, Ink and color on silk, 119cm(width)*22cm(height) This scene depicts Li Jing, emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, playing chess in front of a screen with his three younger brothers. The players are completely focused on their game, appearing quiet and lifelike. Because the image of a screen is drawn on the screen in the background, it is called a "repeating screen." Emperor Li Jing loved the art of painting and often summoned painters to feasts to depict the life of the royal family in art and poetry.
