During the Qianlong reign period and the continuing 19th century, European Baroque styles of painting had noticeable influence on Chinese portrait paintings, especially with painted visual effects of lighting and shading.
I Qianlong-perioden og det følgende 1800-tal havde europæiske barokstilarter mærkbar indflydelse på kinesisk portrætmaleri, især med effekter af lys og skygge.
