The art of the Ming Dynasty in China shows a very Chinese style based on the political, moral and aesthetic customs of Confucianism. Artists supported by the Ming Dynasty imperial family portrayed the daily life of high-ranking people in a decorative and realistic way. The two statues, which are part of the work depicting a luxurious procession, are impressive with the elegant costumes of the Ming Dynasty officials, delicate details, and vivid coloring of green oil.
