Unidentified artist - Landscape of Qin Palaces - unknown v9 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This colour painting on silk unrolls as a horizontal handscroll, tracing the sprawling palace complexes that the legendary Qin Dynasty raised across the landscape.

Visual Elements & Composition

The scene is built from layered architecture. Multi-roofed palace halls sit on a hillside, with red-walled pavilions rising among pine trees and covered walkways linking one building to the next. Vermilion red walls and ochre gold roofs dominate, set against jade green foliage and muted teal ground. Tiny figures move among the buildings, showing the scale of the complex against the viewer's eye. The composition guides the eye along the scroll from courtyard to terrace, one pavilion at a time.

Meaning & Symbolism

The palaces belong to Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, and the most celebrated among them is the Epang Palace. In Chinese literary and artistic tradition, these vast structures stand for imperial ambition and the inevitable decline of dynasties, and their ruin was told as a lesson in the excesses of power and the transience of earthly glory. The painting is not a literal reconstruction. It is an evocative reminder of a legendary golden age, made by an unidentified artist working in the Ming dynasty or earlier. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds the work.

On the Sticker

A kiss-cut follows its own outline, so the roofline and walkways of the palace complex can be shaped into the sticker itself. Placed on a laptop lid, a journal cover or another smooth, flat surface, the artwork keeps the scale and colour of the original scroll in a single compact image. The vermilion and gold of the palace halls read clearly at close range, where the details of the figures and pavilions are seen.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
