十九世紀中國《黃埔島帆影》
紙本水墨油彩設色。是從長洲島遠望開去的黃埔全景。黃埔島沿岸，設立了許多船塢倉棧，為比如丹麥、法國或英國的遠洋船隻提供修理服務。此畫筆功細緻，刻畫船隻及建築物，尤為精確。

來源：英國私人舊藏。背面有 ‘V2626’字樣，另有來自愛丁堡的Aitken Dott & Son藝廊標籤。Aitken Dott (1815-1892) 於 1842 年成為雕刻師、鍍金師和畫框製作師。兒子Peter McOmish Dott（1856-1934 年) 在 1890 年代繼續將業務發展為藝術品經銷商和圖片修復師。 他們以為蘇格蘭各地的藝術家和畫廊提供定制畫框和其他藝術家用品而聞名。 後來藝廊由 George Proudfoot（1873-1943 年）繼承，現在是仍在蘇格蘭最老的藝廊。
品相：狀況極佳，輕微磨損和污漬。框架上的玻璃遺失。
