拍品专文

These orderly scenes depicting men working in the paddy fields cultivating rice, are very similar to a set of twenty-three watercolours of circa 1790 which formerly belonged to Lord Macartney during his Embassy in China in 1792-4 (see D. Howard, A Tale of Three Cities, Canton, Shanghai & Hong Kong, London, 1997, pp. 36-37, no. 28).
