A 1972 painting, original title 'Autumn Harvest Uprising', now in the Military Museum of The Chinese People’s Revolution, Beijing. The event shown took place in September 1927, when Mao and the remains of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army retreated to the Jinggangshan mountain area after the unsuccessful uprising. The Red Army flag, prominent in the picture, was designed at that time.
