A Pair of Framed Antique Qing Dynasty Ancestor Portraits. This pair of portraits are of the type known as "ancestor … more A Pair of Framed Antique Qing Dynasty Ancestor Portraits. This pair of portraits are of the type known as "ancestor portraits". They represent seated men, women, or couples and were commissioned by families to invoke the presence of a deceased forebear in religious ceremonies. They were created in plentiful numbers in workshops and some were recopied by later generations, which makes their dating somewhat perplexing. A great number of the paintings were sold to Westerners, especially between 1920 and 1940, because of their popularity as decoration. Most of the portraits are painted on silk or paper with mineral or vegetable pigments in animal glue. The layers of color are usually thick in the costume area and thin in the face and hands. Often the details of the costume are beautiful, with the embroideries and jewelry meticulously depicted. Such care was given to the costume because it revealed the rank of the deceased. Black wood frame with 2 ornate brass hangers on each.
