Antique Chinese Imperial Emperor Ancestral Painting on Silk

About the Item

Antique 19th century painting on silk depicting a Ming Dynasty Chinese emperor. Beautifully executed with great details. Hand-painted original work, presented in a beautiful frame. Chinese artisans traditionally made silk paintings. Historically, practitioners would use a stone to smooth out the surface of the silk. Once primed, the silk was adorned with designs rendered in colorful mineral pigments or black ink (often made from soot and an animal-based adhesive). The latter was mostly used for calligraphy, one of the most important Chinese art forms and earliest incarnations of silk painting. This very decorative painting would enhance any setting. Framed measurements: 24 34/" W x 31" H x 1 1/4" D
