《孝慎成皇后观莲图》轴，清道光，纸本，设色，纵157.5厘米，横89.5厘米。

　　画面左上钤“道光鉴赏”、“养正书屋之宝”印。

　　清宣宗（道光）孝慎成皇后（？—1833年），姓佟佳氏，三等承恩公舒明阿之女。宣宗为皇子时，嫡福晋钮祜禄氏卒。嘉庆十三年（1808年），仁宗赐册为继嫡福晋。宣宗继位，于道光二年（1822年）十一月立为皇后。道光十三年（1833年）卒。

　　图绘夏日庭院景致，岸上微风扶柳，池中红白两色荷花开得正艳，又有鸳鸯在水中游嬉。皇后身着便装，手持折扇，以时令鲜花作头饰，眉形纤细，下唇一点鲜红，是清宫女子的典型妆容。画中的荷花既是实景，同时又包含象征意义，意在赞誉画中人物的清高品格。成双的鸳鸯则是宫中女性对情感生活的美好祈愿。
