Sure, glad to help. (I asked a couple of Chinese friends about the story yesterday though, and it isn't one they recognize.) I expect that your picture is one from a series of similar illustrations of historical scenes that were originally bound in an album of 8 or 12, perhaps accompanied by some calligraphic discussion on the facing page. But that presumes your picture is no larger than the size of an LP record cover or so; you didn't disclose the size of the image, but my guess it's from a larger album. The painting was done by a skilled professional.
