This album leaf is part of a section of the illustrations of costumes from the Qianlong court, Huangchao liqi tushi (“The Regulations for the Ceremonial Paraphernalia of the [Qing] Dynasty”). 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 2004.19.1.25) and it contains three columns of regular script calligraphy describing the regulations of a winter court robe (chaopao), the third style for the empress dowager and empress. The text on this leaf continues from the attached leaf on the right side.

緣 中無襞積 裾後開 餘俱如前 皇貴妃同

Translation of the Chinese text: "[continuing from the right leaf, 2004.19.1.1.25]...The middle of [the robe] is not pleated and has a split at the back. Other ornamentation is the same as previous mentioned [as the second style of the winter court robe] . The first-rank imperial consort will have the same design."

(Translated and transcribed by Lisa Claypool, Ed., China’s Imperial Modern: The Painter’s Craft, Edmonton, AB: University of Alberta Museums, 2012, p. 104; Modified by Isabel Pi-fen Chueh).

On the reverse of the piece "(44)" is handwritten in pencil on the upper right corner.
