Officers on the Left Part of the Painting

The four officers identified by name (written in Manchu in gold letters) on the newly resurfaced fragment of the left side are, from left to right, Fulu (1b2), Rongbao, Doubin (1a21) and, to the lower right, Shujintai.

Of these four officers, Doubin is the most important officer. He is leading the ”controlled formation of troops” (see the Qianlong emperors poem unter "Fragment right") on the resurfaced fragment.

And indeed, the formation on the resurfaced fragment is so well ordered that it is at first hard to believe that the static resurfaced left fragment belongs to the almost playful right fragment of the Ethnological Museum of Hamburg.




A. Officer on the upper right: Doubin

The officer in the upper right is the Doubin, 豆 斌.

His portrait was painted for the Ziguang ge as number 21 of the first group of 50 portraits (1a21).




One version of his portrait was sold at Sotheby’s New York on March 31, 2005.

The officer in the lower right is Shujintai, 舒 津 泰.

C. Officer in the upper middle: Rongbao

The officer in the upper middle is the Rongbao, 榮 保.



Please note the name of Rongbao in Manchu in gold letters to the left of the head.

Who has information on the biography of Rongbao?




D. Officer in the upper left: Fulu

The officer in the upper left is the Manchu Fulu, 福 禄.

His portrait was painted for the Ziguang ge as number two of the second group of 50 portraits (1b2).

Unfortunately Fulu's portrait is lost, but now we know the appearance of his face through the newly resurfaced fragment of the left side of the Qurman painting.



Who has information on the biography of Fulu?
