This picture shows the Manchu people’s hunting life in winter. The texture of horses, wolf hair, deer spots, bird feathers, and clothing patterns of figures embroidered on this painting are all arranged by the complicated changes of needle techniques such as “harmony needle” and “sleeve needle”. With the unique soft luster of the silk thread, it vividly shows the texture and movement of the object image. The background is basically painted with a pen, which further highlights the exquisite and vivid images embroidered
The mountains in the background follow the interest of the literati painting, and also show the grand scene and level of hunting, making the embroidered figures and animals more vivid, achieving the perfect combination of embroidery and painting. This poem pond has an ink book “for the elderly of cultural relics”, and is stamped with “Tiger Head” and “Luxiang Garden”.
