Bertha Lum: Wedding Banners
Artist: Bertha Lum (1869-1954)
Title: Wedding Banners Date: 1924
Two banner bearers are shown in the foreground, their expressions concealed beneath the shade of their ceremonial, brimmed hats. Also robed in green, another column of banner bearers walk in a second line in the background. This seems to be Lum’s imagining of the wedding procession of the Chinese emperor from the Imperial Palace to the bride’s residence on their wedding day. Scarce.
