A unique picture book:
This is an unusual picture book that deals with Chinese ancestral portraits. Originally frowned upon by Chinese art critics, this book attempts to reevaluate their artistic significance but more importantly, this book has managed to highlight their historical value in capturing the likenesses of Qing officials. This book has captured quite a substantial number of portraits and with a text by Evelyn Rawski, the doyenne of Chinese scholars, its a winner!
