Mandarin Ancestral Portrait Painting |
Posted By: rat Posted Date: Jul 08, 2011 (07:10 PM) |
Message these ancestor paintings were often ready made with only the head left out for the artist to fill in. the official's uniform was used for portraits of people with no connection to officialdom, simply to make them look good. not sure of the significance of ashes in the roller. one might guess they were some of the ashes of the deceased but I really have no idea if that could be true Post a Response |
