根本就没有 杨氏的画像
“but there's absolutely no portrait of Concubine Yang.”
是没有秦安题字落款的画像 还是独独没有杨氏的
“Are there no portraits with Qin An's inscription or specifically none of Concubine Yang?”
“We searched everywhere; someone intentionally wiped out all her pictures.”
Before modern photography, family portraits and official sketches were primary evidence in criminal searches, and the total lack of one strongly suggests foul play.
