A 700-year-old Chinese painted scroll from the Yuan dynasty has fetched HK$306.6m (£32.2m) at an auction in Hong Kong.

The 2-metre (6.6ft) Five Drunken Princes Returning on Horseback is by Ren Renfa, a renowned Chinese artist and government official.

The painting depicts the princes riding horses with four attendants. One of the princes is Li Longji, who later became the longest-reigning emperor Xuanzong of the Tang dynasty.

The scroll has been documented in imperial collections and bears a collection of seals, including those of several emperors.
