This drawing depicts a Chinese soldier, proudly wielding a sword in one hand and shield in the other. This intriguing artwork is part of a set of twelve coloured drawings on paper, discovered by Captain Henry Eden, R.N., in one of the forts of Woosung on June 18, 1842. At the time of discovery, Captain Eden estimated the drawings to be at least twenty years old, dating them back to approximately 1822. The forts of Woosung, located in Shanghai, China, were significant military installations during the early 19th century. These drawings offer a unique glimpse into the daily life and military practices of the Chinese forces during that era. The vibrant colors and meticulous details in this drawing showcase the skill and artistry of the Chinese artist who created it. Captain Eden, who was then a lieutenant, carefully carried off these precious drawings from the forts, recognizing their historical value. The set of twelve drawings is a valuable historical record, providing insights into the military culture and visual arts of China during the early 1800s. This particular drawing of the Chinese soldier with sword and shield showcases the warrior spirit and military prowess of the Chinese forces during that time. The intricate details of the soldier's uniform, weapons, and shield provide a wealth of information about the military equipment and tactics used during the early 19th century in China. Overall, this drawing is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China and the historical significance of the forts of Woosung.
