About the Item

Emperor of China in Imperial Court Dress, Antique Print, Jefferys 1749 This impressive engraving depicts the Emperor of China in ceremonial attire, based on earlier sources but published in London by Thomas Jefferys in 1749. It reflects the fascination with imperial China in European visual culture during the 18th century. The figure is richly dressed in elaborate robes with intricate patterns, accompanied by a wide ceremonial hat adorned with feathers. The composition conveys authority and grandeur, while the hand coloring enhances the luxurious qualities of the garments. Such representations played a key role in shaping European perceptions of China, blending observation with imagination. Today, they are highly valued for both their artistic quality and cultural significance. Condition: Good condition with age-related toning and light spotting. Minor edge wear and marginal losses. Plate mark visible. Framing tips: A darker frame with gold accents complements the regal subject, while a wide mat enhances its presence. Ideal for statement interiors.
