This painting is titled Die Glebe Gefahr (The Yellow Peril) and was painted by German king Wilhelm II. The people standing on the shore with swords in their hands represent patron saints of the strong power of Europe. The rising Buddhists in the east represent China. Wilhelm II gifted this painting to Tsar Nicholas II, representing that Europe will unite to fight China, and encouraging the Soviet Union to invade China.
