In total there are 34 folios that depict costumes appropriate for the Empress Dowager or Empress to wear at the imperial court along with short descriptive captions. This is the left leaf of one folio (attached to 2004.19.1.17), depicting the backside of a formal court robe. This painting is nearly identical to another leaf found in the album, 2004.19.1.1.14.
