​Description:

This is a finely detailed, hand-painted Chinese porcelain plaque depicting a classic scene from the historical epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The artwork illustrates the legendary General Guan Yu (seated on his horse) using his Green Dragon Crescent Blade to lift a robe—a famous moment of loyalty and strategy known as "Guan Yu Picks Up the Robe" (关羽挑袍).

​The plaque is executed in the Famille Rose (Fencai) style with a vibrant palette and intricate landscape details. The upper right features a vertical calligraphic inscription including the title of the scene and a cyclical date marking.
