Ancestor Group Portrait

A tiered group of seated men and women in formal Qing dress fills a tall hanging scroll. Richly colored robes in red, blue, green and gray are set against a plain ground, with a central figure in a red dragon robe and a small altar table with vases above.

Look closer: A small framed inscription panel hangs above the central altar table.
