Empress Luo Shen (Three Kingdoms Cao Wei)

Taken from a defeated warlord’s household at eighteen, ordered to kill herself at thirty-eight for complaining, and buried with her mouth stuffed so she could not accuse anyone in the next world.

Painted by Xiang Li in watercolour and crushed gemstone pigment on silk, from The Chinese Empresses — a twelve-year series of 217 portraits. Reproduced as a giclée print on archival 360 gsm poly-cotton canvas, hand-stretched over solid wood with a mirrored wrap, so the whole painting stays on the front face.

Made to order. Ready to hang. Free shipping.
