This album leaf portrait depicts an unnamed Chinese gentleman rendered in the formal conventions of Yuan- and Ming-dynasty portraiture, in which careful attention to costume and composed bearing conveyed status and character more than individualized likeness. Such portraits, often preserved as loose album leaves rather than large ancestral hanging scrolls, reflect a related but more intimate strand of Chinese portrait painting. The Art Institute of Chicago's collection includes a comparable example of this genre, acquired as a gift from the collector Robert Allerton.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.
