| Historical context | This plaque was presumably painted from an official photograph, and was meant as a diplomatic gift for the Prince of Wales' proposed trip to China in autumn 1989. Owing to the shooting incident in Tian'anmen Square and subsequent world condemnation of the Chinese authorities' action, the Prince's visit did not take place. |
