Imperial Court Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a short-sleeved, light-colored Imperial Court Robe by an unknown artist. The robe is made of fabric and has a high collar. The shoulders and upper back have ornate dark fabric with floral patterns. Three large circular designs are on the front, one on the chest and one on each side, featuring intricate patterns and designs. The robe appears to be a traditional Chinese garment. A small label is on the bottom right. The background is a plain surface, possibly a table or wall.
