Provenance

From a private Swedish Collection.

These paintings reveal the hidden world of the Qing court.

China’s grand imperial era––the Qing dynasty––was a multiethnic and multicultural state founded in 1644 by a small northeast Asian group who came to call themselves "Manchus." These conquering rulers adopted the Forbidden City in Beijing as the seat of the government. The Manchu ruling house differed from their populous Han Chinese subjects by language, history, and culture.

Recently there has been several exhibition focusing on the women in the forbidden city. These paintings all give us a glipse of the hidden world of the palace, depicting both women, men, children and gives us a feeling how antiques and precious objects were displayed around the palace.
