Message I am not an expert in ancestor portraits either, but if you are interested in good quality Qing portraits with which to compare this painting, look to the works of Zeng Jing. For Qing imperial portraits, there are many of Kangxi and Qianlong to compare. Use museum examples rather than auction house sales. Also see, among other sources: Jan Stuart, Worshiping the Ancestors: Chinese Commemorative Portraits Arts of Asia July-August 2003 Volume 33 Number 4 Glances from the Past: Chinese Portraits from Ming to Qing, Milan 2006 Note that women did not serve the court as civil servants. Any artist in China for almost the past 100 years could use imperial motifs without fear of persecution. I suggest that your painting dates from this time. Post a Response |
