EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegant Hui-lan Oei, daughter of renowned Chinese businessman Oei Tiong Ham. Her marriage to the distinguished Chinese diplomat and politician Vi Kyuin Wellington Koo was announced in November 1920, during his tenure as Chinese Minister to the United States. The couple's union symbolized a powerful alliance between two influential families. In early 1921, Vi Kyuin Wellington Koo assumed the role of Chinese Minister to Great Britain, leading them to embark on an exciting chapter in their lives together. They settled in London until June 1946, immersing themselves in European culture while representing China on the international stage. Hui-lan Oei's impeccable sense of fashion is evident in this monochrome portrait by Alfieri. Her refined style reflects her status as one of society's notable personalities during that era. As she gazes into the camera lens with grace and poise, it is clear that she possessed both beauty and intelligence. While their time together came to an end shortly after World War II with a divorce, this photograph immortalizes a significant period for Hui-lan Oei and Vi Kyuin Wellington Koo—a time when they navigated diplomatic circles across continents while leaving an indelible mark on history.
