Traditionally seen as a leisure 'female activity' in Imperial China, the family's womenfolk innovatively integrated brush painting and embroidery in a complementary manner and brought such 'leisure activity' to another level. For the first time in the history of Chinese embroidery, women embroiderers had the opportunity to empower themselves by stitching their names on the works. The Gu family revived earlier Song-dynasty embroidery techniques by applying subtle shading and splitting the silk floss into even finer threads. Compare with an example of egret and lotus flowers dated to the Kangxi period at the Palace Museum, Beijing. Another 'Gu Family' panel with two identical seals can be found today at the Shanghai Museum, China. Another 'Gu Family' example sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 May 2008, Lot 1923.
