Empress Ruizhen (Shen) and Empress Zhenyi (Dugu)

One was taken prisoner when An Lushan sacked the capital, found alive, left behind, and lost again — her son searched for twenty-six years.

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.
