EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of a Woman's Surcoat from China's Qing dynasty. Created between 1860 and 1890, this garment showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Chinese fashion during this period. The unknown creator skillfully combined various techniques to bring this surcoat to life. The body is made of silk warp float faced satin weave, while the edges are delicately adorned with silk warp float faced satin weave. The embroidery work is truly remarkable, featuring silk and gold leaf meticulously applied over lacquered paper strip wrapped silk in knot satin and stem stitches. Additionally, wild silk is used in laid work and couching techniques for an added touch of opulence. The floral pattern on the surcoat adds a sense of elegance and grace. Each flower seems to bloom vibrantly against the rich background color, showcasing the mastery of Chinese decorative design. Preserved within this photograph print lies not only a piece of clothing but also a glimpse into China's cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to the artistry that thrived during the Qing dynasty, leaving us in awe of its timeless beauty. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork invites viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and historical significance. As we admire every stitch and delicate thread, we are transported back in time to an era where fashion was not just clothing but an expression of artistry itself.
