Note: Chinese ancestor portraits aid in keeping the family's memory of the deceased alive. Portraits like this would have been displayed during domestic ritual ceremonies. The figure in this painting wears a fur-trimmed chaofu, the court's formal attire, and the one-eyed peacock feather adorning his hat signifies high imperial favor. The Qing emperor could award members of the court the right to wear a peacock feather (hualing) with one, two, or three eyes, with three being the most prestigious. The hint of a sword sheath indicates he may have had a military position as well.
