The scroll painting set is pasted with an old label, with the title “On the auspicious day of September in the seventh year of Qianlong”. In 1742, Emperor Qianlong was 32 years old
This picture is one of a series of works on hunting tours painted by court painters under the orders of Emperor Qianlong. The picture depicts Emperor Qianlong bending his bow and shooting wild geese on a cliff, demonstrating Emperor Qianlong’s strong reaction ability and precise riding and shooting skills
Based on the analysis of the painting techniques used in the drawing, this painting is a combination of Chinese and Western painters. The portrait of Emperor Qianlong and his white horse and wild geese were painted by Western painter Giuseppe Castiglione, with exquisite brushwork and accurate modeling, especially the dynamic feeling of wild geese sliding down after being hit by an arrow, and the moment when Emperor Qianlong sent an arrow, his hands moved from motion to silence, which showed that the author had strong observation and expression. The mountains, rocks, trees, and streams depicted in the picture are from the hands of Chinese painters, with rigorous brushwork and skillful coloring, which have acquired the ancient flavor of the Song and Yuan dynasties. The tall stone walls, trees, and Qushui together create a peaceful hunting environment, embellishing the originally disabled hunting activities with a pleasant and warm fragrance
