The full album is known as Gathering Gems of Beauty (畫麗珠萃秀).

This painting depicts Xi Shi (西施). Each of the twelve leaves in this album has a title and depicts such famous beauties in Chinese history as Xi Shi, Qin Luofu, Qin Longyu, Madame Li of the Han, Zhuo Wenjun, Cai Wenji, Wu Liju, Princess Shouyang, Mulan, Madame Gongsun, Hongxian, and Lady Hongfu.

The painter is identified as He Dazi, perhaps a Painting Academy artist whose style followed Jiang Bingzhen’s ladies, but whose birth and death dates are unknown. The left leaves have transcriptions of lines of ancient poetry by the court official Liang Shizheng from 1738 related directly or indirectly to events of the ladies depicted in the paintings. Though the works follow in the style of court lady painting, the lines of verse reveal different facets in praise of feminine virtues.
