[L´Empereur] offre un banquet de victoire aux officiers et soldates qui se sont distingués (print (visual work); Jacques Philippe Le Bas, under Charles Nicolas Cochin II; af...; 1770)

Note: One of a set of 16 prints commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor in 1765, after 16 large scale battle paintings by Chinese court painters and European Jesuit monks. This print depicts an event in 1760, with the successful conclusion of the Central Asian campaign, when the emperor celebrated with a grand victory banquet at the Pavilion of Purple Radiance (Ziguangge). He is shown accompanied by officials and imperial bodyguards at right, while vanquished Central Asian tribesmen kneel at left. Bolts of silk and other gifts have been set out on tables to either side of the imperial yurt as tangible rewards for the acceptance of Chinese rule, while servants prepare a meal at the rear of the fenced compound. Visible in the distance are the Marble Bridge and the White Dagoba (Baita), two Beijing landmarks. As a further reminder of Qing military might, the Pavilion of Purple Radiance housed one hundred full-length portraits of heroes from the Central Asian campaign.
