The Qing imperial court conducted large-scale autumn hunts as part of military training and documented these events into suryeopdo (狩獵圖, painting of hunting scene). These suryeopdo were introduced to Joseon Korea after the eighteenth century, where they evolved into horyeopdo (胡獵圖), which depicted Manchu hunters in action. Initially produced within the royal court of Joseon, these paintings grew popular among the common people after the nineteenth century and diversified into various forms.
This particular work is believed to be a horyeopdo created by and for commoners. The entire composition captures an autumnal atmosphere, with vibrant autumn foliage and dynamic depictions of Manchu hunters dressed in Qing attire, complete with their characteristic queue hairstyles.
