Robes decorated with eight medallions were one style of semi-formal attire designated for the empress and other high-ranking women of the court. The green color of the present lot indicates that it was intended for an imperial consort. A robe of similar style made for an empress is illustrated in John E. Vollmer, Dressed to Rule, 18th Century Court Attire in the MacTaggart Art Collection, Edmonton, 2007, p. 24; and other examples in the Palace Museum, Taipei are illustrated in Costumes and Accessories of the Qing Court, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2005, nos. 98 and 99. Robes of the earlier periods do not typically have the lishui stripe at the hem, whereas later 19th century robes do, such as the Daoguang period green gauze robe in the Palace Museum, op. cit., no. 111.
