What caught my attention was that the Qing Court version of this painting (the painting had so many replications) was completed in 1736 (1st year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign). Even though it is the same painting, it differed from the original in terms of 'bright coloring, mature brushwork, ruled-line architectural representation, and the fine and exact rendering of the figures'. Thus, it becomes a source of study for Qing society and customs.
Qing society.
King Thai Sa's reign (1709-1732) was during Qing dynasty.More specifically, during the Kangxi Reign (1662–1722) and Yongzheng Reign (1723–1735).
Prom Likit will be during King Thai Sa's reign.

Art and History enthusiasts will love this exhibition. But I'm also sure, there will be some who go there to find out more about society in Qing dynasty for the sake of Prom Likit
After all, Prom Likit is said to involve trade with China during that time
