Sotheby’s is pleased to be presenting a unique 🅰exhibition of Chinese Imperial portraits to coincide with the March Asian Art auctions in New York. The thirteen paintings were carefully collected over four decades by Dora Wong, a New York-based fashion designer with a keen eye for quality. Little was known about this category when she started collecting, enabling her to acquire some o💫f the most important Imperial portraits in private hands.
Highlights include the only survivi🍌ng Imperial portrait of Fu Heng (1720-70), the Chief Grand Councillor 🌱to the Qianlong Emperor (reigned 1735-96), and portraits of the Manchu prince and regent Dorgon (1612-50), Admiral Guan Tianpei (1781-1841) and Yunli (1697-1738), Prince Guo Yi of the First Rank.
Come see this exhibition in person from 14-20 March 2024 i🧸n New York.
