“绘画卷”荟萃了唐代至清代众多名家的绘画精品178件，许多作品是第一次公开发表。被徐悲鸿先生视为生命的《八十七神仙图卷》（传唐人作品，宋摹本），曾引起海内外藏家极大兴趣的唐代人物画大师阎立本的《孔子弟子像》手卷（宋摹本，首都博物馆斥资800万元购入）均为国宝级文物。南宋“三马”、明四家、清初六大家、扬州画派等一大批蜚声画坛的名家作品为我们展现了中国绘画发展的完整链条。值得注意的是，北京虽然远离江南文人画中心，但是，作为元、明、清三代的都城，北京却是宫廷绘画繁兴之地，也是画家云集交流之所。本卷精选的多件明清宫廷画家的作品对于我们认识宫廷绘画的特色和艺术成就具有重要的意义。

画册编选严谨，择真汰赝。在编排上，图文并茂，以图为主。所选图片均为原作实拍，加上精美清晰的彩色印制和精彩的局部特写，使读者能够真切地领略原作的神貌，无疑是书画爱好者研习的最佳范本。为了使读者更好地理解和鉴赏作品，每卷书前均载有两篇专家撰写的论文，介绍北京地区绘画艺术的发展历史和艺术特色；书后则附有图版说明，对每件作品的年代、作者、收藏地、质地、色墨、尺寸、藏所及作者生平、表现的内容及艺术特色等一一详加注述。
