A CHINESE ANCESTOR PORTRAIT OF A SEATED OFFICAL. 19TH C.
A regal figure in traditional attire with embroidered dragon Mang. Her sophisticated headdress is adorned with bead threads. Particular attention should be paid to the face of this person, which is drawn not only realistically, but also with a touch of psychologism. Gouache, paper, silk. Provenance: Collection of Edward Hyers Clayton (1886-1946). American writer and missioner. E.H. Clayton and his wife were missionaries of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society in charge of Wayland Academy, a missionary school in Hangzhou, China from 1912 to 1942. E.H. Clayton wrote a book Heaven Below based on his living experience in China.
