About the piece
Dating to approximately 1775, this magnificent Chinese imperial portrait depicts a prince seated in state. Wearing a richly embroidered blue surcoat adorned with five-clawed dragons and a pearl necklace, the figure is framed by a celestial scene of a golden dragon emerging from swirling clouds. The intricate rendering of the patterned carpet and the meticulous detail of the sitter’s regalia showcase the refined artistry of 18th-century court portraiture.
