Ancestor worship has been an essential practice in Chinese culture since ancient times. During the imperial era, it was a sacred family duty to care for the spirits of deceased ancestors. Memorial portraits, or ancestor portraits like these, became essential everyday household items.
This set of portrait paintings depicts an aristocrat of the first civil rank from the Qing dynasty and his wife. His rank can be inferred from the flying white crane (mandarin) that adorns his robe. The crane symbolized a long life and wisdom. The crane (mandarin) emblem indicated the wearer as the first and highest civil official at the Qing court. The official's wife is also depicted in a matching robe with a matching mandarin emblem to signify her husband's rank.
