Female official image with the color of the red marble gold paint, bright, 153 cm high and 54 cm wide
The earliest records of female officials began in the Book of Rites of the Zhou Dynasty. Its main responsibilities are to learn, publicize and take charge of women’s moral integrity, sponsor the Son of Heaven in various rituals, take care of the daily life of the emperor and empress, and engage in the management of the harem. Although female officials in the Ming Dynasty had good taste, they no longer participated in specific affairs, but were only a necessary symbol of etiquette. This female official portrait, painted with gold, is a true reflection of court life in the Ming Dynasty.
