Man in Mourning - Manchu Funereal Fashion Art Print

$30USD

Step into the world of Chinese funerary traditions with this captivating illustration. You'll encounter a lone figure with a hint of a smile, donned in a pristine white robe that whispers tales of ancestral reverence. The garment's flowing silhouette, accentuated by faint blue trim, embodies the delicate balance between grief and grace.

Notice the intriguing headpiece, a symbol of ritual significance, crowning the man's composed visage. In his grasp, a peculiar staff commands attention - its emerald and crimson adornments punctuating the monochromatic palette.

This isn't just clothing; it's a visual narrative of loss, honor, and cultural continuity. The artist's deft brushstrokes breathe life into every fold and feature, inviting you to ponder the depth of Chinese mourning practices.

Whether you're a collector of ethnographic art, a student of sartorial history, or simply drawn to poignant cultural expressions, this piece offers a window into the soul of traditional Chinese observances.

Artist Biography

Hardy Jowett was a renowned art historian and textile expert known for his extensive studies of Qing Dynasty Manchu fashion. His meticulous research delved into the intricate designs of longpao robes, phoenix crowns, and kesi-woven fabrics that defined the opulence of the Qing era.

Jowett’s passion for preserving the heritage of Manchu fashion led him to document the intricate symbolism in garments—like the nine dragons on Jifu or the embroidered plum blossoms on winter sleeves—that conveyed messages of power, prosperity, and resilience.

His scholarship helped elevate these traditional arts, showing the world that every thread, stitch, and design was not just decoration, but a reflection of the cultural heartbeat of an empire.

Today, Hardy Jowett's legacy lives on as a key reference for historians and fashion enthusiasts who seek to understand the grandeur and intricacies of Qing Dynasty attire.
