Yao Wenhan and Zhang Tingyan The Myriad [Tributary States] Coming to Court / Wanguo laichao tu / 万国来朝图  China (c. 1760) The Palace Museum, Beijing [Source]

Richard J. Smith writes:

…the Qianlong emperor had already commissioned a set of paintings that conveyed the same sense of collective “barbarian submission” that came to be celebrated in the Da Qing tongshu zhigong wanguo jingwei diqiu shi. Indeed, at almost exactly the same time that the Huang Qing zhigong tu appeared in print (1761), two of the emperor’s court painters—Yao Wenhan (dates unknown) and Zhang Tingyan (1735-1794)—produced a beautifully executed work titled “The Myriad [Tributary States] Coming to Court” (Wanguo laichao), which depicted representatives from dozens of countries in East Asia and the West, all gathered together with their “local products” in the Forbidden City under the watchful eye of Qing officials.

Wow. Stunning. I would love to see this in person, to look at the fine details. It’s interesting, from what little I see here, that (a) I don’t see any Ryukyuans, even though Ryukyu (Liuqiu) was the 2nd top tributary to China after only Korea, and (b) one of the banners clearly says “Japan” 日本国, even though Japan /never/ sent tributary missions to the Qing, and even though Beijing refused to engage in formal relations with Japan from sometime in the 1500s, all the way until the late 1800s.
