　　《中國外銷畫 1750s-1880s》：
　　It is not surprising to know that Lamqua already gained his reputation in the 1830s ashis name appeared frequently in many contemporary Westerners travel journals anddescriptions. One of the reasons for his fame is perhaps his legendary encounter withGeorge Chinnery， the celebrated British painter who has settled in the China coastsince the 1820s. Having sojourned in India for over twenty years， Chinnery went toMacao in September， 1825. Rumours about Chinnery's migration to the China coastwas prevalent in the literature on the nineteenth century Far East，3~ his acquaintancewith Lamqua was also a common gossip to many visitors who were interested in theart and culture of Canton.
　　How Lamqua got to know Chinnery is still unknown to us although there has beensaying from the Fearon family that these two painters knew each other in Macao， atthe house of the Fearons. Coloniel S.P. Fearon， a descendant of the amily recalled in1970s that
　　My information on Chinnery is that when he arrived in China in 1825 he firstrented a house in Rua Ignacia Battista from James Bannerman， the head of theoffice of the E.I. Comapany； but that later， and for several years， he lived withthe Fearons. In 1837 he stood sponsor at the christening of Elizabeth's last child，my grandfather， Robert Inglis Fearon. It is also said in the family that Lam Qua，the Chinese artist， was a servant of the Fearon， and through his attendance onChinnery was introduced to painting.
