龍九 間以五色雲 中無襞積 下幅八寶平水 披領行龍二 袖端正龍各一 袖相接處行龍各二 領後垂明黃縧 其飾珠寶惟宜 餘俱如前 皇貴妃同

Translation of the Chinese text: "[continuing from the right leaf, 2004.19.1.1.33]...include nine golden dragons spaced by five-colour clouds. The middle [of the robe] does not have pleats. The lower part is decorated with "eight treasures and level waters" [babao, pingshui]. There are two moving dragons embroidered on the flared shoulder collar, one front-facing dragon on each cuff, and each sleeve has two moving dragons at the joint place. The back of the collar attaches a hanging with bright yellow ribbons adorned with pearls and gems as fitting. 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. 103; Modified by Isabel Pi-fen Chueh)

On the reverse of the piece "(36)" is handwritten in pencil on the upper right corner
