Night Revels of Han Xizai[edit]

Half-section of the Chinese painting Night Revels of Han Xizai, handscroll, ink and colors on silk, 28.7 x 335.5 cm. Original by Gu Hongzhong (10th century), 12th century remake of the Song Dynasty. Other half-section found here.

This 12th century painting, copying a 10th century painting by Gu Hongzhong, is an excellent Chinese handscroll of a domestic scene. Some might favor the other half more for its use of negative space, but I've chosen this instead for its rich texture and striking red hues. If anyone wants to touch up this picture to reduce graininess, be my guest. And if so, I think a touched up version could really have a chance to pass the featured picture nomination.
