Beautiful pair of intricately hand painted Chinese Emperor and Empress portraits from the mid 20th century. The medium is likely watercolor or gouache on silk. The portraits depict a Chinese Emperor and Empress wearing highly detailed robes in shades of navy, green and yellow with dragon and floral designs. Each is professionally presented under glass in a gold wood frame with multiple mattes. Similar have been shown in design magazines featuring lavish home interiors. These would be a fine and sophisticated addition to your home.
