Summary
| Description |
English: This painting is a view of Hong Kong by an unknown artist around 1853. This distant view includes large ships in the foreground, with the city itself clinging to the hills rising in the background of the canvas. The hills move in a chain across the canvas, receding to the left. It was acquired for the White House Collection by the White House Historical Association in 1973. |
