EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of Tz u Hsi, the Empress Dowager of China, circa 1903. Taken by a French photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases the elegance and grace of one of China's most influential figures. Tz u Hsi was known for her role as consort to Emperor Hsien Feng and later as regent during her son's reign. Her traditional costume reflects her status and position within Chinese society, with intricate details that symbolize power and authority. Despite the winter setting depicted in this portrait, she remains poised under a parasol while surrounded by snow. The image also highlights the contrast between Tz u Hsi's age and beauty. As an elderly woman, she exudes wisdom and strength through her piercing gaze. The presence of a servant further emphasizes her importance as it is clear that every detail has been carefully attended to. Tz u Hsi played a significant role in shaping Chinese history during the Qing Dynasty, often regarded as both despotic ruler and devoted mother figure to Emperor Tung Chih. This photograph serves as a reminder of her influence on Asian politics at that time. Now part of a private collection, this portrait continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of an iconic historical figure from China's past.
