Howqua refers to the representative of the thirteen factories among the Guangzhou merchants. The subject of this portrait is probably Wu Bingjian (1769-1843), the wealthiest man in the world during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, or his fifth son, Wu Shaorong (1833-1856).
畫中人應為浩官行商人，嘉道時期之世界首富伍秉鑑（1769-1843年）或其五子伍紹榮（1833-1856年）。
