Original - Qianlong Emperor of China in ceremonial armour on horseback, 1739 or 1758. Ink and color on silk
Reason
Although the pic comes from the Manchu period of China, I think it's very representative of its era (painted by court artist of that times)

  • Support: Just to explain my logic (and thus give some feedback beyond "Oooooh! Yessssss! Wooooooow! Per others¨." ;) ), I made two presumptions: 1. the lines in the sky are paper texture. 2. The colours are correct (it's a little yellowish, but that could well be fading). All the rest is unammbiguously excellent, and those presumptions are quite safe ones, so... =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:40, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
