If you look closely, the emperor in this painting does not look like the Xuande Emperor because it is not painted during the Xuande Era. It is actually the painting of the Jiajing Emperor or Ming Shih-Tsung (1522-1566) according to the Palace Museum where this painting is currently housed.

Not Xuande, but Jiajing
Please note, the emperor depicted in this painting is not Xuande, but Jiajing. This information comes from books sold at the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, where the painting currently resides. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yprpyqp (talk • contribs) 09:26, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
