Topic: Portrait
Description: This detail of the "lingchi of an adultress murderer" (see this plate in Lingchi file) displays a surprising, but characteristic, cool mood of representing legal atrocities: the lady whose lims are being cut, just as the executioner performing the torture, kindly grin, with no mark of any suffering or anguish.
