High Tang Dynasty
This donor's portrait is labelled as "Lady Wang, wife of a commander, from Taiyuan". Lady Wang was the wife of Le Tinggui, Commander of Jinchang prefecture (in Shanxi) around the 12th year of the Tianbao reign (753). Appearing from right to left in the painting are Lady Wang, her two daughters and nine female attendants. The gradually diminishing sizes of the figures reflect the strict top-down hierarchy governing their relationship.
