🇺🇸/🇬🇧: This one is a reinterpretation of a character who I think got the short end of the stick in terms of how his character was treated, and the cultural stereotypes he was made to represent (he unfortunately isn't the only one.) I wanted to highlight a notable moment of revealed moral force for this underused character. Had a lot of fun with this one trying to do a John Singer Sargent style portrait and looking up Qing dynasty fashion history for the character.
