Empress Zhao Feiyan

A singing girl who danced her way to the throne — and was then rewritten, centuries after her death, into an erotic legend and an idiom about body shape.

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.
