以清朝乾隆年间,法国传教士画家王志诚在宫中为皇后画肖像画为主线,全景式的展现了清朝宫廷内部权利斗争及情感纠葛的众生相。An empress commissions a painting of herself from a Fresh outsider in hopes of stirring her husband's interest in this lavish period piece. The Lady in the Portrait is a period yarn evoking the unique rapport between a French missionary and the Manchurian Empress whose portrait he's ordered to paint.
