Original Antique Ancestor Portraits from the Republic and Quing Periods

Chinese Ancestor Portraits are a tradition that date back to the 16th century. Painted on large scrolls, they were precious family heirlooms that ensured a family’s continued good fortune. Today, we admire these paintings for their luxurious costumes and sophisticated opulence. Their heritage makes them traditional, their boldness makes them modern and their origins fit with the current trend toward multicultural style.
