Yinxiang received a first-degree princedom and the title Prince Yi from his half brother, who reigned from 1723 to 1735 as the Yongzheng emperor. The prince's yellow robe, which was a color reserved for the emperor's clothing and those to whom he granted the privilege of wearing yellow, also reveals Yinxiang's imperial favor. This portrait belongs to a set (with S1991.86 and S1991.102) that depicts men of other generations who inherited the title Prince Yi, but they did not have the right to wear yellow. These three paintings were made at about the same time, using the same stencil to outline the chairs and the bodies of the sitters. The faces, however, are rendered in radically different styles. Yinxiang, the first prince Yi, is the least realistic of the three, perhaps because he died 175 years before the portrait was commissioned.
After forebears had been dead for more than three generations, they were promoted to the category of "distant ancestors." While displaying portraits of distant ancestors was a way for descendants to honor important kinsmen, they no longer had to dedicate specific rituals to these long-deceased family members.
