Painted by Li Shida, a native of Suzhou active around the turn of the seventeenth century, this scene captures the rituals of Lunar New Year's Day in a water village on Stone Lake, in China's Jiangnan region. Relatives and friends arrive to pay respects to their elders, boys set off firecrackers in the courtyard, and servants beat a gong to announce arriving guests, while inside the house New Year's couplets are brushed and hung to welcome the season. Blossoming white cherry trees signal spring's arrival over a scene Li Shida, painting his own home region, likely knew intimately.

Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.
