Qiu Zhu

Qiu Zhu 1565–1585), commonly known as Miss Qiu and by her art name Duling Neishi , was a Chinese painter during the Ming dynasty, noted for paintings with figures (rather than landscapes), including several depictions of the goddess Guanyin. Qiu Zhu was born in Taicang County, Suzhou Prefecture, the daughter of Qiu Ying (1494? – 1552), one of the Four Masters of the Ming dynasty. Little is known about her life, and it is assumed that she learned to paint from her father. She was possibly married to You Qiu, an artist influenced by her father and generally believed to be his son-in-law, although this has been questioned by some scholars. In his later life Qiu Ying lived at the estate of his patron, collector Xiang Yuanbian, and she might have also lived there. She maintained a close relationship with the Xiang family after her father's death, and at least one of her extant works bears the seal of a Xiang family member.
