Notes
"This painting originally was in the former collection of the Nanxun Hall at the Qing dynasty court. Although bearing no signature or seal of the artist, the appearance and spirit of the figures are well conveyed and certainly not a work of the imagination. Furthermore, the brushwork is quite precise and the coloring delicate, making it of the highest caliber and probably from the hand of a master at the time.
During the course of his reign, Emperor Renzong had two empresses. The first was Empress Guo and the latter Empress Cisheng Guangxian, nee Cao. Since Empress Guo had been deposed at one point, this portrait is most likely a rendering of the latter. In the painting, not only are the robes and crown of the empress painted with exquisite and unparalleled ornateness, even the two attendant girls are beautifully adorned in similar clothing, their hair also decorated with delicate pins. Similar to another portrait of the empress seated alone, she appears here as extraordinarily noble and in a class of her own, making this an exceptional masterpiece of Song dynasty realism in art."
