"The Hindostan at Anchor in the Strait of Mi-a-tau of the City of Ten-choo-fou at the Entrance to the Gulf of Pekin" is a painting by British artist William Alexander. Created in the late 18th century, this work is part of a collection of illustrations documenting the Macartney Embassy, the first British diplomatic mission to China, which took place from 1792 to 1794. Alexander, who served as the official artist for the mission, captured various scenes and landscapes encountered during the journey.

The painting depicts the British ship Hindostan anchored in the Strait of Mi-a-tau, near the city of Ten-choo-fou, at the entrance to the Gulf of Pekin (now known as the Bohai Sea). This location was significant during the embassy's travels as it marked a key point of entry into the Chinese mainland. The artwork reflects the maritime and diplomatic interactions between Britain and China during this period.

Alexander's work is characterized by its detailed representation of the ship and the surrounding landscape, offering insights into the geography and maritime conditions of the time. The painting also serves as a historical document, illustrating the early encounters between Western and Eastern cultures.

William Alexander's illustrations from the Macartney Embassy were later published in various accounts of the journey, contributing to Western understanding of China during the late 18th century. His works are valued for their artistic merit and historical significance, providing a visual record of a pivotal moment in Sino-British relations.

The painting is part of the British Library's collection, where it continues to be studied by historians and art enthusiasts interested in the cultural exchanges between Britain and China. Alexander's contributions as an artist have been recognized for their role in documenting this important diplomatic mission.
