"Harbour at Hong Kong" is a 19th-century oil painting by Lam Qua, a Western-trained Chinese painter known for his portraits and landscapes. Lam Qua, or Kwan Kiu Cheong, was active in the port city of Guangzhou (Canton) and is one of the earliest Chinese artists to paint in a style that combined Western techniques with traditional Chinese aesthetics. The painting depicts a panoramic view of the bustling harbor of Hong Kong, capturing the vibrancy and cultural exchange of this important maritime hub during the Qing dynasty.

The artwork is significant for its historical context, as it was created during a period of significant change in China, with increasing foreign presence and trade. "Harbour at Hong Kong" reflects the fusion of Eastern and Western influences, not only in the subject matter but also in the artistic approach. Lam Qua's use of perspective, shading, and realistic representation shows the influence of his Western training, while the choice of subject and composition retains elements of traditional Chinese landscape painting.

The painting serves as a valuable visual document of Hong Kong's early colonial period, offering insights into the topography and activity of the harbor, as well as the types of vessels and commerce that were prevalent at the time. It is also an example of the cross-cultural interactions in art during the 19th century, illustrating how Chinese artists adapted and responded to Western artistic conventions.

"Harbour at Hong Kong" is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Lam Qua and contributes to the understanding of the development of modern Chinese art. It is a testament to the artist's skill in bridging two artistic traditions and provides a unique perspective on the historical landscape of Hong Kong.
