EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the exquisite beauty of an embroidered midnight-blue Han women's informal overcoat, known as a waitao, from the 19th century. The coat, measuring 99x152.5 cm, is part of a private collection and showcases the incredible craftsmanship of the Chinese School in the 19th century. The intricate embroidery on this coat is truly mesmerizing. Satin stitch roundels adorn its surface, featuring delicate flower and fruit sprigs as well as graceful butterflies. The chest, back, and sleeves display figures in serene garden settings while birds amidst flowers can be seen on the shoulders and above the hem. Notably, a pair of mandarin ducks symbolizes high rank. Every inch of this garment is adorned with ornate details that make it a true work of art. Ivory satin sleeve bands showcase further bird motifs while ivory satin borders and cloud collar feature additional figures in garden scenes.

This embroidered overcoat exemplifies traditional Chinese fashion at its finest. With its rich history and meticulous attention to detail, this photograph captures not only a beautiful piece of clothing but also serves as a testament to centuries-old artistic traditions passed down through generations.
