CHINESE SCHOOL, OIL ON CANVAS C.1830 Depicting Whampoa Reach seen from Dane's Island with American, British and Dutch Shipping at anchor, with distant pagodas, 52cm x 77cm. This large and fine view of the anchorage at Whampoa (Huangpu) is taken from a hill overlooking the foreign cemetery on Dane's Island. In the distance is the Whampoa (Pazhou) Pagoda, on Pazhou Island, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, which survives today.

American and other foreign ships are at anchor, and the buildings used by foreign traders can be seen in the distance. Chigang pagoda, now surrounded by the southern suburbs of Guangzhou can be seen on the left. PLEASE NOTE THIS LOT IS TO BE OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE.
