Painting Description
"Wife of Kang Tsi" is an exquisite illustration from the collection "Recueil des Estampes représentant les Rangs et les Dignités suivant le Costume de toutes les Nations existantes," a significant work by the French engraver Pierre Duflos. This collection, which translates to "Collection of Prints Representing the Ranks and Dignities According to the Costume of All Existing Nations," is a comprehensive visual documentation of global attire and social hierarchies during the 18th century. Duflos, known for his meticulous engraving technique and keen eye for detail, sought to capture the diversity and richness of cultural costumes from around the world.
The "Wife of Kang Tsi" print is particularly notable for its intricate depiction of traditional Chinese attire, reflecting the fashion and social status of a woman married to a high-ranking official during the Qing Dynasty. The illustration showcases the elaborate and ornate clothing that signifies her elevated position within the societal hierarchy. The attention to detail in the embroidery, fabric texture, and accessories highlights Duflos's dedication to authenticity and his respect for the cultural significance of the attire.
This work is part of a broader Enlightenment-era interest in ethnography and the documentation of different cultures, driven by a fascination with the exotic and the unknown. Duflos's engravings served not only as artistic expressions but also as educational tools, providing Europeans with a visual understanding of the diverse customs and social structures that existed beyond their borders.
The "Recueil des Estampes" remains an important historical document, offering insights into 18th-century perceptions of global cultures and the ways in which clothing was used to signify rank and dignity. Duflos's work continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its contribution to the field of costume history, making "Wife of Kang Tsi" a valuable piece within this esteemed collection.
