Ancestor Painting, Couple in Burgundy and Black Wall Panel This style of cabinetThis large, colourful painting on canvas is a reproduction based on the ancestor portraits produced in China for centuries as part of the common practice of ancestor worship. Families would honour their ancestors by lighting joss sticks and placing offerings in front of their portraits, which would show either individuals, couples or in some cases several generations. The subjects would normally be shown seated, dressed in their official robes
