Large Framed Mid-Qing Dynasty Chinese Meticulous Ancestor Portrait Painting in Red

Description

This extraordinary portrait showcases a high-ranking, yet unidentified woman seated on an armchair draped with tiger skin. Executed with traditional Chinese techniques, the painting boasts vivid and bright colors that have been meticulously preserved. The intricate details of the richly embroidered robes, the facial features, and the elaborate hat are rendered with exceptional skill. The large-scale artwork is set against a beige background and complemented by a green patterned fabric mat, all enclosed within a stately rectangular dark frame. This piece is a stunning example of Chinese ancestral portraiture and a remarkable addition to any collection.
