802 / Piled Lotus
2.55 x 4.1 metres ／ 8.4 x 13.5 feet

Below is a partial portrait from the early 19th century, a scroll painting on paper.
It depicts a second-ranking officer in full court dress seated in an early seventeenth-century yellow rosewood chair.
The red earth is set against a lotus flower with its twining branches, which supports the majesty of the seated master.
The details of the hand-embroidered court dress and the carpet reflect the elegant life of the aristocrats at that time.
The carpet in the painting is the prototype for the "Stacked Lotus" design, typical of the Kangxi period in the 17th century.
