In the background of the painting, there is a stream flowing through, and the courtyard wall is shaded by stacked mountains and stones. In a close shot, you can see a rich autumn color. Shimadai is located on the west side of Wanshu Garden, with a wide and flat land, sparse trees, and a grassland scenery
There is no signature from the author on the screen, and it is believed that it was written by the French missionary painter Wang Zhicheng (refer to the article “On the Qianlong Archery Oil Painting Screen” by Yang Boda in the 1991 issue 1 of the Journal of the Palace Museum).
