This stunning print captures the elegance and grandeur of male and female Mandarins (magistrates) in their summer dress at the imperial court of China. The intricate details of their attire, from the embroidered squares on their tunics to the symbolism behind them, reveal not only their rank but also their role within society.
The use of birds for civil officials and animals for military officials showcases the rich cultural traditions and customs that were prevalent during this time period. Each Mandarin exudes a sense of authority and sophistication, embodying the power they held within the imperial court.
