Description
During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) every important family honored their ancestors via portraits such as this. Standing at over five feet high it is painted on paper mounted on a silk roll then affixed to a masonite base. The man's winter robe is in a deep blue - the official color of the Qing dynasty indicating he was a minor prince or nobleman. Fur collar and lining indicates he is a man of means along with his fur winter hat topped with a gold pendant embellished with precious stones. The square rank badge at the center of his robe includes a golden quail amidst clouds - a symbol of courage. Nearby is a "wan" the Chinese symbol which translated means "all things." Black frame with gold leaf border measures 35.25' wide x 61.25" high x 2" deep. NO glass glazing at this time. The artwork itself measures 29.75" side x 55.75" high.
