He was a painter of Buddhist and Taoist figures, and both his ink and color paintings were of a high standard, often employing Western techniques. Here, the whole family has gathered together to celebrate the joyous season of the New Year. The children play in the courtyard with dolls, firecrackers, and instruments, while the elders sit in the hall at a table. Off to the right, foods are being prepared and in the back, decorations are being put up. The perspective arrangement of the architecture and the use of shading reflects the influence of Western techniques. &*1.劉芳如,〈清姚文瀚歲朝歡慶圖〉,收入劉芳如、葛婉章編,《嬰戲圖》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1990年四月初版),頁89-90。 2.〈清姚文瀚歲朝歡慶圖〉,收入林莉娜編,《京華歲朝》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,2008年初版一刷),頁28-31。 3.嵇若昕,〈姚文瀚歲朝歡慶圖〉,收入馮明珠主編,《乾隆皇帝的文化事業》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,2002年初版一刷),頁28。 4.嵇若昕,〈乾隆皇帝和他的文化顧問們〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第235期(2002年10月),頁32。
