After Emperor Gaozong is a Song dynasty painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This painter worked in the quiet shadow of a royal court, turning silk into stories that never needed words. Their handscroll of a scholar’s day in the garden still travels in silence, imagine a scroll that unfolds like a hallway, where bamboo and rocks stand in for people. If you want to see the original, hunt for Untitled (Handscroll, ink and color on silk) in the Palace Museum, Beijing.
