The picture shows the campus of Tainan Theological College and Seminary from the front of Rev. Thomas Barclay’s residence looking towards Rev. Dr. William Campbell’s residence (the building on the right) and the seminary’s main buildings further south. Chen Cheng-po uses Rev. Barkley’s residence as the central focus, integrating the surrounding areas, such as the roads and trees in the near view, with the distinctive distant and near buildings in the far view to create an overall environmental imagination. Scattered characters were depicted to decorate the tranquil but slightly vigorous atmosphere of the seminary.
