清 緙絲山水圖|Panel with Landscape
Unknown
late 18th century · Silk and metallic thread tapestry (kesi) with ink and color · Asian Art
The scenes on these two panels depict magnificent gardens within green hills overlooking bodies of water. Although we cannot accurately identify them, the buildings and scenery are comparable to those found in eighteenth-century woodblock illustrations of the Old Summer Palace in Beijing and the Mountain Resort in Chengde. It seems likely that these two pieces were once part of a series representing imperial retreats.
