DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: A watercolour drawing from the album 4166. This image depicts a male Qing official seated in a wooden chair beside a wooden table. The figure wears an elaborate orange-red robe decorated with intricate blue and gold patterns throughout. The upper portion features geometric cloud motifs while the lower section displays waves in dark blue with floral embroidery. He also wears a black cap with a peacock feather. The official is seated in a dark wooden chair with a high back and armrests. He is reading a book held in his left hand. There are several objects on the table next to him, including a hat stand holding a hat, a green teacup, and a black vase with red cockscomb. The painting is executed in the style typical of Chinese export art from around the late 18th or early 19th century, with careful attention to details in the clothing and furniture. The style combines Chinese painting techniques with elements designed to appeal to Western tastes, particularly in the detailed rendering of the figures' clothing and accessories.
