EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Mouqua, Lamqua" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and prosperous trade history of 19th-century China. Painted by an anonymous artist from the Chinese School, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 60.8x47.2 cm and is housed in the prestigious Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. The subject of this stunning artwork is Mouqua, Lamqua - a distinguished merchant who played a significant role in the bustling maritime trade between China and other nations during that era. With a content smile adorning his face, Mouqua sits gracefully dressed in traditional attire while surrounded by opulent decorations and symbols of wealth. The background showcases a picturesque seascape with ships sailing through calm waters, symbolizing the thriving trading activities that took place at ports like Hong Kong. Mouqua's bald head and well-groomed moustache further exemplify his affluence and status within society. Adorned with exquisite jewellery and draped in luxurious silk fabrics, Mouqua exudes elegance and prosperity. This portrait not only captures his physical appearance but also serves as a testament to the success achieved through international trade during this period. As we admire this remarkable painting by Bridgeman Images' collection from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the fusion of artistry and commerce that shaped global economies centuries ago.
