{"product_id":"portrait-of-li-xiangjun-cui-he","title":"Portrait of Li Xiangjun - Cui He","description":"\u003cp\u003eA traditional Chinese portrait of the historical figure Li Xiangjun, framed by a circular window and surrounded by extensive calligraphy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work depicts Li Xiangjun, a celebrated courtesan of the late Ming and early Qing periods, known for her association with the Qinhuai River culture. The composition employs a circular window frame, a common device in Chinese painting to focus the viewer's attention on the subject while suggesting a private, interior space. Li Xiangjun is shown in a moment of quiet contemplation, holding a fan, with the delicate branches of a flowering tree visible in the foreground. The muted, earthy tones of the silk ground provide a neutral backdrop for the figure, whose attire is rendered with subtle colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surrounding area of the silk is filled with extensive calligraphy, a characteristic feature of traditional Chinese hanging scrolls. These inscriptions provide historical and literary context, connecting the visual representation of the subject to the broader cultural narratives of the time. The brushwork is precise and controlled, reflecting the technical standards of the period. The integration of text and image creates a unified surface where the written word carries as much weight as the painted figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCui He captures the subject with a sense of restraint. The figure is not presented in a dramatic pose, but rather in a state of stillness. The circular aperture serves to isolate the figure from the external environment, creating a sense of intimacy. The inclusion of the flowering tree outside the window adds a seasonal element, often used in this tradition to signify the passage of time or the temperament of the subject. This print reproduces the original silk texture and the aged quality of the ink, preserving the balance between the calligraphic elements and the central portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cui He","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58971577942351,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58971625914703,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58971625947471,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58971625980239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58971626013007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58971626045775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58971626078543,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58971626111311,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58971626144079,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58971626176847,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58971626209615,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58971626242383,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Li-Xiangjun_Poster_CompositorV1_1790830745623.jpg?v=1790832815","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/portrait-of-li-xiangjun-cui-he","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
