Guo Nüwang – Empress Wende (Cao Wei)

Orphaned, sold into a marquis’s household, and named “Woman King” by a father who saw it coming.

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.
