Boy Emperor's Summer Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Boy Emperor's Summer Robe by unknown artist depicts a short-sleeved robe with a round neckline. The robe is knee-length and flared at the bottom. It features a light-colored background with intricate dark-colored embroidery throughout, including on the sleeves, hem, and waistband. A decorative panel is visible on the left side, just below the waist. The robe's fabric appears lightweight, suitable for summer wear. A thin dark line trims the edges of the robe. The robe is displayed against a plain light-colored background.
