Full-length standing studio portrait of a Chinese maid, holding a large fan: 'This maid is a slave girl, bought in childhood for a trifling sum from her poor parents ... This girl has been reared in the bosom of the family, and trained to wait on the ladies of the household, to attend to the children, and to make herself generally useful. In this picture she is represented on her way to market, the slave enjoying more freedom in going abroad than does her mistress...' Location unspecified, but probably photographed in Hong Kong.
