Kelton Foundation notes: CTFBC19: Miniature on ivory by Sunqua of a seated gentleman. Stamped 'Sunqua' on red silk lining of leather covered case. These portraits were generally copied from photographs. The
Chinese artist may have made the photograph or been given one to copy by the customer.
Sunqua's versatility is evident by his works in oil and gouache of ships, harbors and people. It is
interesting to see his work in this field as well.
