ATTRIBUTED TO TINGQUA (CHINA,
ATTRIBUTED TO TINGQUA (CHINA, 1809-1870), THE WATERFRONT AT CANTON, 1850, WATERCOLOR AND GOUACHE ON PAPER, SHEET SIZE 22” X 48". FRAMED 27.5" X 53".ATTRIBUTED TO TINGQUA, China, 1809-1870, The Waterfront at Canton, 1850, showing the European factories, Protestant church and the American paddle steamer Spark offshore amid local boat traffic. Dimensions: Watercolor and gouache on paper, sheet size 22" x 48". Framed 27.5" x 53". Provenance: Robert Sawers, Ltd., London, 1984.The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.Notes:Large works like this are rare for Tingqua. Changes in the waterfront's architecture, detailed by the artist, allow for the precise dating of this work. Canton was the first city in the Chinese Empire to become a hub of international trade due to its wealth, elegance, advantageous position on the north bank of the Pearl River, and being the capital of the Province of Kwang-tung, though all Western trade with China was restricted to Canton (Guangzhou) until the end of first Opium War in 1842. Traders maintained Hongs (homes and warehouses) in a small area along the north bank of the Pearl River. Identifiable flags in this painting, from right to left, include Danish (flown from the offices of their consul Jardine Matheson and Augustine Heard), British, Chilean, French, American and Prussian.
