About the Item
Chinese households honor their ancestors in private family rituals, invoking their spirits for long life, health, and prosperity. Commemorative portraits, which came into vogue in the late Ming and Qing dynasties, were commissioned specifically for ancestor worship and were believed to house the spirits of the deceased. This 19th-century hand painting depicts a court official and a high-ranking woman and takes care to document the ancestors' rank and prestige. Conforming to the convention, the figures are depicted in a seated, frontal pose and dressed in luxurious garments, and surrounded by opulent furnishings.
