‘Five Drunken Princes’ – A Rare Surviving Scroll by Master Ren Renfa

Inscribed with poems written by the Qianlong Emperor, this highly important handscroll depicts ten landscapes by the emperor’s favourite artist Qian Weicheng. Recently rediscovered after a hundred years, the scroll was originally kept in the Forbidden City and handed down until the Last Emperor Puyi in the 1920s. ‘Ten Auspicious Landscapes of Taishan’ is a highlight of Sotheby’s upcoming sales in Hong Kong.
