About the Item
An Incredible and Large Chinese Qing Dynasty (late 19th century) Style Upper Nobility Ancestral Portrait Painting on Paper with a Beautiful 24K giltwood frame. The composition features multiple figures arranged in a tiered format within an architectural and outdoor setting. The figures are depicted in full-length frontal poses, wearing detailed robes with embroidered patterns. The most senior figures, with four claw dragons on their robes indicating upper nobility, are positioned in an elevated pavilion, while others are seated in lower sections of the scene. The faces, clothing, and surrounding elements are outlined in fine black ink with color washes applied to define shading and detail.
The architectural elements include a pavilion with wooden columns, beams, and an open balcony. The pavilion's roof is partially visible with decorative eaves. Furniture such as tables, stools, and railings are present, depicted with linear perspective and ornamentation. The foreground contains trees, plants, and rock formations, along with a patterned stone terrace. Various objects are placed throughout, including books, scrolls, and vases. The edges of the painting are bordered by a simple linear frame, with the image extending close to the margins. The artwork is housed in a rectangular
giltwood frame with rounded corners. The frame has mitered joints and a smooth, polished finish.

Located in Yonkers, NY
A Chinese Qing Dynasty period painting from the 19th century of an ancestral group portrait in custom frame. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Chinese history with this Qing Dynasty period painting, an ancestral group portrait from the 19th century that masterfully captures the essence of traditional Chinese society and family hierarchy. This vertical painting, housed in a custom composition wood frame with plexiglass, is a testament to the time-honored artistry of Qing Dynasty artists.
Crafted on parchment paper, the painting displays generations of ancestors in a systematic, frontal arrangement. The chromatic spectrum of their robes - blues, reds, greens, golds, blacks, and oranges - adds vibrant depth to the ancestral tribute. Civil officials are distinguished by bird-adorned buzi, an emblem of their rank.

Bordering the parchment, a silk frame contributes an elegant finish. Display this painting above a credenza, console table, or enfilade, and it promises to enhance any interior space with its captivating allure and cultural resonance. This Qing Dynasty painting...
