Description

Witness the embodiment of Qing bureaucratic finesse. This watercolor vignette unveils a well dressed courtier, his attire a testament to imperial hierarchy.

The umber robe, a canvas of subtle brocade, whispers tales of rank and privilege. Saffron bands encircle the hem, a sunburst against shadowy silk. Alabaster cuffs, adorned with azure waves, peek from voluminous sleeves - a nod to scholarly pursuits. The pièce de résistance? A coral rosary draped nonchalantly, hinting at Buddhist influences in Manchu court life.

Atop his head, an ebony hat crowned with a cinnabar knob - a clear marker of his station. This isn't mere clothing; it's a wearable dossier of social standing. Every brushstroke captures the nuanced language of power in the Forbidden City.

For enthusiasts of East Asian court fashion, collectors of ethnographic prints, or those intrigued by sartorial codes of bygone eras, this illustration offers an unparalleled glimpse into the vestiary lexicon of Qing officialdom.

About the Artist

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.
