Made of real silk by a well known silk workshop, this is a brocade reproduction of the famous Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival (also known as Qingming Shanghe Tu), originally by Song dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan. The original painting is considered one of the most renowned Chinese artworks, often called "China's Mona Lisa" in deference to its status in the art history of China.

The very long, panoramic hand scroll captures the daily life and landscape of the Northern Song capital, Bianjing (modern-day Kaifeng), about 1,000 years ago, widely considered the most prosperous and populous city in the world then.

Remarkable needlework and craftsmanship! Great condition with no noticeable defects.

Measurements: 111” x 24”
