Emperor Qianlong wrote a five-character quatrain: “It’s very nice to write a picture of the world, which is good for me when I was young. Who is it when I enter the room? Renyin wrote the quatrain in late spring.” Under the seal is the seal of the “ancient and rare emperor” in Zhu and the seal of the “still working hard” in white. “Ren Yin” is the 47th year of Qianlong (1782), when Emperor Qianlong was 72 years old. On the top of the painting are the “Eight Symbols of the Treasure of Eight Concepts”, “Ancient Son of Heaven” and “Treasure of the Supreme Emperor”
The picture is painted in an idyllic environment dotted with green bamboo, cold plum and lake stones. Two men in Chinese clothing are delivering the picture with plum branches. Their elegant and noble manner complements the elegant environment, and the painting is deepened in the blending of scenery. According to the title of Emperor Qianlong in his later years, “The world is beautiful and beautiful when I was young”, this picture shows the portrait of Emperor Qianlong when he was young. In the picture, there is no need for the lips. Those who wear red shoes should be Hongli in his teens. Although the author did not make a name on the painting, according to the poem of Emperor Qianlong, the painting should be made by Lang Shining. As a western painter with profound sketching skills, Lang Shining skillfully absorbed the traditional Chinese “realistic” painting techniques while using western anatomy to depict the five facial features of the characters in a delicate, clear and three-dimensional way, and paid attention to reducing the brightness of the light in western paintings, thus avoiding the appearance of the yin and yang faces that Chinese people taboo, This combination of Chinese and Western expressions has a strong artistic appeal and refreshing expressiveness, which has been highly appreciated by the Qing royal family, especially the Emperor Qianlong
