EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the Qing dynasty in China. The "Mans Theater Costume (Reversible)" is an exquisite example of the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined this era. Created between 1850 and 1900, this costume reflects the rich cultural heritage of China. The garment features stunning closures made from silk warp float faced satin weave, while its collar is adorned with bands of silk warp float faced satin weave. Embellished with gilt metal framed mirrors, it boasts elaborate embroidery using silk and gold leaf over lacquered paper strip wrapped cotton in various stitching techniques such as laid work and couching. The floral pattern on the fabric adds a touch of elegance to the overall design, complemented by delicate dragon motifs symbolizing power and strength. The use of gold thread further enhances its opulence, creating a truly mesmerizing visual spectacle. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork represents not only Chinese fashion but also serves as a testament to the artistic brilliance prevalent during the 19th century. Its vibrant colors, meticulous detailing, and unique reversible feature make it an exceptional addition to any art gallery or institute collection. As we admire this extraordinary creation by an unknown artist, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty and grandeur that once graced Chinese theater costumes during the Qing dynasty.
