Castiglione (Lang Shining), as well as Qing court collection seals, was
likely painted in the early Republic Period at the Houmen Zhai (Back 引首、題跋：王謇
Door Studio), so named as it was near the North Gate, or “Back Door”
of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Composed of former Qing Dynasty
Court artists, as well as artists like Ma Jin (1899-1970), Houmen Zhai
produced paintings that evoked those produced during the Qianlong
period that fuse Chinese and European aesthetic approaches.
