One Hundred Children at Play
Su Hanchen · 1100s–1200s
Dozens of children turn a garden into a miniature world of games, roles, gestures, and stories.
What to notice
Look figure by figure: the children rarely overlap, so tiny costumes, props, and actions stay readable even inside the crowded composition.
Discover
The ‘one hundred children’ theme celebrates abundance through almost inexhaustible variety. Here a carefully organized garden setting lets each child become an individual episode inside a larger pageant.
