This album leaf is a part of a 48-page album that depicts Chinese subjects participating in various aspects of daily life, including government business, daily life, cultural customs, modes of transportation, and corporal punishment. This leaf contains an ink and watercolour full-length portrait of a man in a Qing Dynasty civil official costume. He wears a dark blue surcoat with a rank badge over a Manchu dragon robe, which can be identified by the "standing water" hem visible at his legs. His hat is a qingdai guanmao, a type of official headwear from the Qing Dynasty, with a blue finial on top, and he also accessorizes with a court necklace and black boots with a white sole.
