This large-scale watercolor painting by British military artist Malcolm Greensmith depicts the 55th (Westmorland) Regiment of Foot during the Capture of Chusan in 1841, part of the First Opium War. The scene illustrates British soldiers in traditional red coats assaulting a Chinese strongpoint at Guards Hill. The composition features soldiers engaged in close combat, firing muskets amidst clouds of smoke, and raising both the Union Jack and a captured red dragon flag. Chinese defenders are shown in various positions, including archers with bows and fallen soldiers on the battlefield. The artwork is signed by the artist in the bottom corner. The painting is housed in a large gilt frame measuring 115 cm wide, 95.5 cm high, and 4.5 cm deep. It is presented under glass with a multi-layered matting that includes a dark inner border and a wide light-colored outer mount.
