"Picture of a Manchurian of the Qing Court from Nanjing, Admiring a Fan" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Sadahide, created in 1860. This work depicts a man of the Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China, dressed in traditional clothing and admiring a fan. The intricate details of the clothing, including the elegant robes and elaborate hairpieces, highlight the artist’s meticulous attention to detail. Sadahide's portrayal of a foreign culture reflects the growing interest in international affairs during the mid-19th century. This print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the artist's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, known for its vibrant colors and dynamic compositions.
