EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing depicts a Chinese street fish seller, one of a set of twelve coloured drawings on paper discovered by Lieutenant Henry Eden, R.N., on June 18, 1842, during his exploration of the forts of Woosung, China. The drawings are estimated to be at least twenty years old at the time, dating back to approximately 1822. The intricate details in this artwork showcase the vibrant energy and bustling atmosphere of Chinese markets during that era. The fish seller is skillfully rendered, with a determined expression and a large basket of fresh fish balanced on his head. The use of rich, bold colors adds depth and texture to the scene, transporting us back in time to experience the sights and sounds of the bustling Chinese marketplace. These rare and precious drawings offer a unique glimpse into the daily life of China during the early 19th century, providing valuable historical and cultural insights for scholars, art enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in Chinese history and art.
