Han Xizai, bearded in a tall black hat and a yellow robe, stands alone and raises one hand in farewell. At right a seated guest takes the hand of a woman in green as another leans on his chair. Red collectors' seals run down the left edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead from right to left, the scroll moves through five scenes of a night at the house of the minister Han Xizai: listening to a pipa, striking a drum for dancers, resting, watching five flute players and seeing off his guests. The painter gave it a sober air, with no one smiling, and it shows musicians seated on chairs rather than floor mats, a change from early Tang custom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: handscroll, ink and colours on silk, a Song-dynasty copy after Gu Hongzhong's tenth-century painting; The Palace Museum, Beijing. This print is one section of the scroll.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGu Hongzhong was a Chinese figure painter of the tenth century at the Southern Tang court of its last ruler, Li Yu. By the traditional account the ruler sent him to one of the minister Han Xizai's night parties to paint what he saw, and the picture eased the ruler's distrust of Han. His painting survives in two copies: a Song-dynasty one in the Palace Museum, Beijing, and a Ming replica in Chongqing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
