LARGE IMPERIAL ANCESTRAL PORTRAIT – QING DYNASTY
Gouache and gold paint on fabric
China, late Qing dynasty
Large painting, impressive in its quality, the couple depicted sitting close to one another on a throne. Both in opulent robes and of royal decent, as one can see by the large, golden, five-clawed dragon on the robes. Both faces are very finely drawn and radiant. Overall, a great amount of floral decoration. Two artist seals are to be found at the upper right.
