Noblewoman - Manchu Fashion Art Print

$30USD

Behold a symphony of Tang dynasty opulence. You're witnessing a courtly lady, her silhouette a cascade of vibrant hues. Fuchsia sleeves billow like peony petals, framing azure depths adorned with midnight blooms. The obi-like sash, a verdant canvas of chrysanthemums, cinches her waist.

Observe the skirt's intricate tapestry - earthen swirls intertwine with emerald geometries, anchored by crimson cords of auspicious knots. Her ebony coiffure, a architectural marvel, sprouts scarlet buds. Jade droplets caress her ears, echoing the robe's cerulean trim. 

This isn't mere attire - it's a wearable poem of status and refinement. Howett's brush captures every nuance, from silk's sheen to embroidery's texture. You're peering through a portal to China's golden age, where each fold and frill whispered tales of celestial harmony. This artwork beckons you to unravel the cryptic language of imperial couture, a visual feast where every stitch sings of cosmic balance and earthly splendor.

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.
