Chinese school - Oil painting - View of the Hongs of Canton (before 1830), showing the flags of Holland, Great Britain and America, paper laid on canvas 9.375ins (23.9cm) x 12ins (30.5cm), in contemporary ebonised and gilt frame (early 19th Century) Note: The latest date that this work could have been produced can be evidenced by the inclusion of the small roof pavilion on Chungqua's / Mingqua's factory seen immediately to the left of the American flag. This pavilion was removed soon after 1830. See Patrick Conner - "The Hongs of Canton: Western Merchants in South China 1700-1900, as seen in Chinese export paintings", 2009, page 129
