		</div><p>A 700-year-old Chinese painted scroll from the Yuan Dynasty fetched 306.6 million Hong Kong dollars (£30.5 million) at a Sotheby’s auction in Hong Kong.<br />
The 6.6-feet scroll, titled Five Drunken Princes Returning on Horseback, is by Ren Renfa, a renowned Chinese artist and government official.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The painting depicts the princes riding horses, with four attendants. One of the princes is Li Longji, who later became the long-reigning Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.<br />
The scroll has been documented in imperial collections and bears a collection of seals, including those of several emperors.<br />
In 1922, the Five Drunken Princes Returning on Horseback scroll was transported out of the Forbidden City by Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, after the fall of the Qing dynasty.<br />
Many of Ren’s 21 paintings are held in museums or owned by private collectors.</p>

<p>“This painting depicts the story of the five drunken princes after they had a very happy time, and then they got drunk and went back home,” said Sally Fong, a specialist in classical Chinese paintings at Sotheby’s.<br />
“Among the five princes, one of them is the future emperor.<br />
“In this painting, we can see that he was depicted as the one who can tolerate the drunkenness, to go back home together with the other drunken princes.”</p>
