EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detail from a late 13th-century copy of a Tang Dynasty scroll, depicting the renowned concubine Yang Kuei-fei mounting a horse. The artwork, created by Chien Shuan, is rendered in ink and color on paper, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of Chinese fine art. Yang Kuei-fei was an esteemed figure in Chinese history as she served as the concubine to Emperor Ming Huang during the 8th century. In this particular scene, she exudes elegance and grace as she prepares to ride her majestic steed. Her attire reflects her upper-class status with intricate robes adorned with delicate calligraphy and seals. The composition captures not only Yang Kuei-fei but also includes other men attending to her needs while she mounts the horse. The attention to detail extends beyond just the figures themselves; it encompasses elements such as hats, fans, belts, and even a colophon that adds depth and authenticity to this historical representation. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic mastery of Chien Shuan's brushwork and gain insight into ancient Chinese culture. It serves as a testament to China's rich heritage and its fascination with depicting scenes from imperial life through painting.
