Painting description

Wang Zhao Jun, living during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220AD). The time was known for many problems with the "barbarians" to the West, known as the Xionghu and later Hun tribes. The Xionghu chief demanded to marry one of the concubines from the Han court. Wang volunteered, sacrificing herself for the peace of the land. The Emperor agreed to send Wang, finding out only too late that she had been his most beautiful concubine rather than his most ugly. Because of her courage, the China and Xionghu existed in relative peace for 60 years. And said to be so beautiful that her appearance would entice birds in flight to fall from the sky.
