In Early Modern European courtly circles, males were expected to "bow and scrape" (hence the term "bowing and scraping" for what appears to be excessive ceremony). "Scraping" refers to the drawing back of the right leg as one bows, such that the right foot scrapes the floor or earth.

This affects modern attitudes to [the portrait], making the cordial respect of youth seem like the obsequiousness of a crafty courtier." Penny, Nicholas, 1991.

Architecture in general can set leaders apart: note the symbolism inherent in the very name of the Chinese imperial Forbidden City. The culture and legends about the ruling family may build on myths of divine-right and describe the ruler or the Son of Heaven. Court ceremonial highlights symbolic distance between a royal/imperial leader and follower, in a hierarchical system which cultivates a social system and power network at whose centre is the monarch. Bowing and curtseying remain as examples of the self-abasement of hand-sucking, bowing and scraping, prostration, kowtowing and proskynesis formerly demanded.
