About the piece
Painted in 1806, this work by William Daniell offers a panoramic view of the Pearl River at Canton (Guangzhou). The composition highlights the intersection of cultures through shipping, featuring both majestic European merchant vessels and local Chinese junks. In the background, the neoclassical architecture of the foreign trade 'factories' stands as a landmark of 19th-century global commerce.
