Commissioned through Marine Artists for a Private Collection in the USA
It was the Americans who were quickest to realise the potential of Hong Kong, which in 1849 was a boom town that had not existed two years before.
The American client who commissioned this painting has strong business links with the city and wished the scene to show bright blue skies, choppy water and a mixture of traditional and modern craft alongside the lovely stern view of Sea Witch .
