The double screen: Emperor Li Jing watching his brothers play weiqi 重屏圖

Formerly attributed to Zhou Wenju (傳)周文矩 (active mid-10th century) · 14th century

Li Jing, identified by his tall hat, watches two of his brothers play weiqi, while a third looks on. The board, raised on low feet, has a grid of nineteen-by-nineteen lines, the format introduced during the Tang period (618-907). Apparently the game has not progressed very far, since few pieces are visible on the board. The player on the left is about to place his piece, while the player on the right reaches with his right hand for a piece in his container, in anticipation of his move.
