Description

The studio of the artist Tingqua was perhaps the most prolific source of Chinese painting for export during the nineteenth century. Located at 16 China Street, Guangzhou (Canton), the school specialized in gouache and watercolour paintings influenced by Western artistic traditions. Tingqua’s studio was located on China Street which ran through the district of Guangzhou known as the Thirteen Factories. Today, this area is part of Guangzhou Cultural Park.
