EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the Tang dynasty, specifically the first half of the 8th century. Titled "Seated Women Holding Mirror" this earthenware figurine is a testament to the artistic brilliance of ancient China. The statuette depicts two seated women gracefully holding a mirror, their elegant postures and serene expressions capturing the essence of feminine beauty during that era. Crafted with three-color sancai lead glazes and traces of polychrome pigments, this ceramic artwork exhibits an exquisite blend of colors that adds vibrancy to its overall appearance. The intricate details on the figurine's clothing and hairstyles reflect the meticulous craftsmanship prevalent in Tang dynasty art. The mirror held by these women symbolizes introspection and self-reflection, inviting viewers to contemplate their own inner selves as they gaze upon this masterpiece. Its presence serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us with our cultural heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece exemplifies one aspect of Chinese art history within its Arts of Asia collection. While little is known about its creator or origin, it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and historical significance. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in Chinese history - where tradition meets innovation, elegance meets spirituality, and creativity knows no bounds.
