"Portrait of Tz'u-Hsi (1835-1908) Empress Dowager of China accompanied by two maids of honour and a guard" is a historical painting by an anonymous artist, depicting one of the most significant figures in the late Qing Dynasty. The Empress Dowager Cixi, also known as Tz'u-Hsi, is portrayed in a regal pose, which befits her status as a de facto ruler of China for nearly half a century. The painting is believed to have been created during the late 19th or early 20th century, a period that corresponds with the Empress Dowager's tenure in power.

In the portrait, Tz'u-Hsi is the central figure, exuding an aura of authority and poise. She is traditionally dressed in elaborate Manchu robes, which are richly embroidered, signifying her imperial status. The two maids of honour flanking her are depicted in a manner that suggests their subservience and loyalty to the Empress Dowager. They are similarly attired in traditional garments, though less ornate than those of Tz'u-Hsi, which visually reinforces the hierarchy among the figures. A guard is also present in the painting, symbolizing the protection and respect accorded to the Empress Dowager.

The artist's identity remains unknown, which is not uncommon for works from this period, especially those depicting royal subjects. The anonymity of the artist may be due to the cultural and political climate of the time, where individual recognition was often secondary to service for the court. Despite the lack of information about the creator, the painting is an important cultural artifact, providing insight into the court life, fashion, and power dynamics of the Qing Dynasty's waning years.

The painting's composition, use of color, and attention to detail in the depiction of textiles and facial expressions are notable. These elements contribute to the artwork's historical value, offering a visual narrative of the Empress Dowager's court and the opulence associated with the Qing Dynasty's elite.

As a piece of historical portraiture, the painting is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Chinese history and art. It serves as a visual document of the Empress Dowager's appearance and the courtly attire of the time, as well as a testament to the anonymous artist's skill in capturing the grandeur of one of China's most influential and controversial figures.
