In real life, few people wear gorgeous clothes. After all, the woman in the portrait, her clothes are fluttering and her long skirt falls to the ground. Their clothes are not suitable for walking, but they are difficult to clean when they are dirty. So in ancient times, when they asked painters to paint their portraits, they would choose a gorgeous and exquisite dress to decorate themselves, which was not often worn in daily life. Just as we take some photos now, there will also be specific makeup artists and stylists to help you shape your image and take better photos. What's more, in ancient times, it was not easy to ask for a portrait, but it would naturally be more exquisite.
Of course, as mentioned above, most of these people are prominent, so in order to please these people, painters will naturally draw more in line with the aesthetics of the public. Just like the statues of emperors in previous dynasties, in order to show the authority of the emperor, the head of the emperor was deliberately enlarged among a group of people to highlight the central position of the emperor.
Ordinary women who really lived in ancient times were not as glamorous as the pictures of ancient ladies. Most of them wear cloth clothes, and their colors are simple and simple, because in ancient times, colors were also graded. Ordinary women can't wear red and green at all, and in order to work better, many don't wear long skirts, let alone drag them underground.
