DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: A watercolour drawing from the album 4166. This image depicts a young Qing lady standing beside a wooden table in a domestic setting. The lady wears a court robe composed of multiple richly decorated sections. Her outer garment is a red robe with blue cloud patterns, while the ranking badge shows a white crane. The lower portion features colorful striped panels in orange, blue, and red, typical of formal Manchu court dress. Her black skirt has blue floral patterns. She wears an ornate blue kingfisher feather headdress with white pearl strands. The lady stands beside a red-brown wooden table. On the table is a dark ceramic vase containing delicate red flowering branches and a stack of books. There is a green stool with curved legs beneath the table. The painting is executed in the style typical of Chinese export art from around the late 18th or early 19th century, with meticulous attention to details in the court costume, furniture design, and decorative objects. The style combines traditional Chinese figure painting with elements designed to appeal to Western tastes, particularly in the detailed rendering of the subject's elaborate court dress and the well-appointed interior setting.
