注脚
仿郎世寧 西式人物圖 設色紙本 鏡框 民國This scroll, bearing a spurious signature of the Italian Jesuit Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining), as well as Qing court collection seals, was likely painted in the early Republic Period at the Houmen Zhai (Back Door Studio), so named as it was near the North Gate, or "Back Door" of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Composed of former Qing Dynasty Court artists, as well as artists like Ma Jin (1899-1970), Houmen Zhai produced paintings that evoked those produced during the Qianlong period that fuse Chinese and European aesthetic approaches.
