'Children Playing' is a popular subject matter for works of embroidery and depicts a genre of life custom. The genre possesses various auspicious meanings, depending on the number of children depicted. This pair of frames have interesting compositions, featuring pavilions as the primary element, surrounded by greenery and numerous children on the ground in various poses, vivid and lively. Among the children, two hold ruyi and shou-peaches to congratulate their elders, implying that they will have many descendants and familial longevity. The embroidery needlework is flexible, with various colors of threads stitched with ingenious craftsmanship. The overall composition is rich and harmonious in color, implying auspiciousness. This pair of frames are extremely rare to be preserved into the present day.

《嬰戲圖》是以兒童遊戲玩耍為題材的生活風俗畫,也是刺繡藝術品垂青的題材。嬰戲圖作為傳統吉祥紋飾中的一個重要代表,從兩子、五子、到十六子甚至「百子迎福」、「百子嬉春」,不同的圖案所隱藏的寓意也不相同。這兩幅作品畫面布局豐富,以亭臺樓閣為主體,周圍綠蔭地上百子百態,生動活潑。其中兩位孩童持如意與壽桃向長輩拜賀,寓意著子孫萬代、多福多壽。繡品針法豐富多變,各色繡線搭配匠心獨運,整體畫面色彩豐富和諧,寓意吉祥。一對作品完整保存至今極為難得。
