Attributed to Youqua, China Trade oil on canvas of the anchorage at Cumsingmum, with two figures beside a crenelated wall with a river and ships in the background, 18" x 23 1/2". The wall was built in 1837 to deter Westerners involved with the opium trade. This unusual view is identical to another in the Sze Yuan Tang collection.

Condition
