Chinese Servants Bearing a Palanquin" is a notable artwork by British artist William Alexander (1767–1816). Known for his detailed illustrations and paintings, Alexander was part of an official British diplomatic mission, known as Macartney Mission, that visited China in the late 18th century. Alexander served as the expedition's official artist, providing some of the first modern Western depictions of various aspects of Chinese culture and life.

In "Chinese Servants Bearing a Palanquin," Alexander offers an in-depth look at modes of transportation and the social hierarchical structure in late 18th century China. A palanquin, also known as a jiao or litter, was a primary mode of transport in China for the wealthy and high-ranking officers who were carried by servants. Alexander artfully captures the physicality of this form of travel.

The work is typically characterized as a mix between realism and romanticism, with meticulous attention to the details of the scene, clothing, and artifacts to objectively represent Chinese life, contrasted with the romanticized portrayal of the unknown Eastern culture to a Western audience.

As a primary piece among Alexander's oeuvre, "Chinese Servants Bearing a Palanquin" provides considerable insights into the cross-cultural and socio-economic nuances of the period, proving its enduring historical significance and value to art history.
