About the piece
Painted around 1810 by the British artist William Daniell, this evocative work provides a rare window into the landscape and industries of 19th-century China. The composition balances the detailed activity of tea cultivation and river commerce with a vast, atmospheric perspective of distant peaks bathed in a warm, hazy light, characteristic of the period's romanticized travel narratives.
