+ OVERVIEW
the square screen with two cusped upper corners, masterfully
carved in varying layers of relief on threesides with delicate patterns
of clouds enclosing a scene of two stallions standing under trees;
one eating grass and the other turning its head, looking back. An
imperial poem composed by the Qianlong Emperor and executed
in a meticulous font is carved on the left up corner. The vigorous
and realistic execution of this table screen reveals the hand of a true
master, embodied with not only a artistic value but also a historical
connotation.
