Children Playing in an Autumn Garden (Chinese: 秋庭戲嬰圖; pinyin: Qiūtíng xì yīng tú) is a Song dynasty painting made around 1150, often attributed to Su Hanchen. It depicts two children playing a game on a lacquerware stool, spinning dried jujube fruits. Behind them are other toys, blooming flowers, and a large garden rock. Bearing seals and a colophon from the 18th century Qianlong Emperor, it is now held by the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. It is one of the earliest surviving Chinese paintings of children without adults present.
