拍品資料及來源

Paintings of such idealized beauties were popular throughout the duration of the Qing dynasty. They conjured up the essence of feminine grace and attraction. Most do not represent real women but rather a romanticized version of the perfect woman. This genre was made originally for the domestic market. During the 19th century these paintings of women were produced in a variety of media, oil on canvas, gouache on paper and on reverse glass and exhibit a wide range of quality.
