CHINA - WOMAN, 1799. A Glimpse into the Enigmatic World of Upper-Class Chinese Women in the Ching Dynasty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Granger Art on Demand transports us back to the year 1799, offering a rare glimpse into the life of an elegant Chinese woman belonging to the upper echelons of society. Dressed in traditional attire that reflects her status and wealth, she stands gracefully before us, exuding an air of poise and sophistication. The lithograph is based on a contemporary pen-and-wash artwork by Pu-Qua, a renowned artist from Canton. The attention to detail is remarkable as it captures every intricate element of her ensemble - from her ornate clothing adorned with exquisite patterns to the delicate fan held delicately in her hand. One cannot help but notice what appears to be bound feet beneath her flowing garments; a painful practice prevalent among women during this era. This poignant reminder serves as a testament to both beauty ideals and societal norms that prevailed at that time. Through this image, we are transported not only through space but also across centuries, allowing us to appreciate China's rich cultural heritage and its complex history. It serves as a visual portal into an enigmatic world where tradition meets opulence and provides us with valuable insights into the lives of privileged women during one of China's most fascinating dynasties.
