  • About

    'JIN Tingbiao, an artist much favored by the Qianlong emperor, was active in the Painting Academy the decade before his death in 1767. He was among the best figure painters of the Academy, excelling in historical and genre themes, although he also painted landscape, birds, and flowers.'
