Chua Ek Kay mentions about the term 清供图 (Qing Gong Tu) in his discussions on still life painting. It refers to objects that have been used in a studio or study room setting.
This traditional and classic form of Chinese painting differs from portrayal of still life objects in western art. Considerations with regards to perspective, size and placement are secondary. They are appreciated as descriptions of an inventory that are personal to an artist.
