拍品描述: William Wood (British, 1769-1810) The Chinese Servant of John Hotson (1770-1828), a purser in the East India Company, in blue jacket and black cap Signed on the backing card 'By Will: Wood' with number '5727' and further inscribed 'a chinese boy', and with provenance information On ivory Oval, 80 mm. high, gilt-metal frame with glazed reverse revealing signature and inscriptions William Wood's handwritten and unpublished Memorandum of Miniatures painted and finished by William Wood lists the present portrait as no. 5727 and records the sitter as 'A Servant of Mr Hotson's.' According to Wood's notes, it was completed in March 1800. A portrait of Mr Hotson is also recorded in Wood's list of sitters as no. 5627 'Mr Hotson of Arniston East Indiaman', completed in December 1790. The Arniston was a ship known as an East Indiaman and was owned by the East India Company, making eight journeys from England to India and China between 1795 and 1815. On its final voyage to England from Ceylon the ship, which was carrying over 400 crew and passengers, hit rocks at the southern tip of South Africa and sunk. Only six people survived the tragedy which was caused by the absence of a key navigational tool: a chronometer. John Hotson (1770-1828) was a purser (keeper of the accounts) for the East India Company and he worked on board The Arniston between 1796 and 1802. He also served on The Walthamstow (1805/06), The Castle Huntley (1813/14), and The Cabalva (1815/16). His service dates, which are recorded in A. Farrington, A Biographical index of East India Compay Maritime Service Officers 1600-1834, The British Library, 1999, p. 394 suggest that Hotson may have boarded The Arniston on its arrival in China in 1796, half way through its first voyage, and may have left the ship half way through its 4th voyage in 1802, also in China. The East India Company Records in the British Library show that five Chinese men joined the Arniston as seamen at the Cape of Good Hope and a further nine Chinese men joined as seamen in Canton during the ship's 2nd voyage in 1796/97. The sitter in the present portrait may have been one of these fourteen men who are all given the same surname in the captain's log book: 'Chinese'.
