Watercolours by Gobulo Runqi, Puyi’s brother-in-law, likewise offer a fascinating glimpse of a palace perspective on the Chinese homeland and culture. It is an idealized vision, but one which dwells on everyday life rather than in the pomp and ceremonies of the imperial court.
The paintings themselves are annotated throughout in Chinese by Puyi, and Permyakov offered explanatory notes on many of the works in Russian. This set of three watercolours depicts everyday life of old China.
