Chinnery arrived on the China coast from Calcutta on 29 September 1825. He would spend the rest of his life here, settling permanently in Macao after regular excursions to Canton in his first years on the coast: he resided in Canton in the late summer and autumn of 1826-1829 and 1832. This very lively sketch shows the Hongs at Canton, ranging from Chung Qua's Hong on the left, decorated with its pagoda roof, to the pedimented frontages of the English and Dutch Hongs on the right. The same view is glimpsed beyond the Red Fort in Chinnery's watercolour 'The Red Fort, Canton, with a distant view of the western Factories' in the Hong Kong Museum of Art (for which see P. Conner, George Chinnery 1774-1852: Artist of India and the China Coast, Woodbridge, 1993, p.166, pl.99).
