Sir Claude Maxwell MacDonald (1852-1915) was a British diplomat and British Minister to China in 1896, best known for his service in China and Japan. During his stay in China, he often discussed Chinese art collection and art research, and once took a photo in front of a Chinese palace.


Sir Claude MacDonald's collection of Chinese works of art was so large during his time in China that he traveled between China and Japan from 1900 to 1912, and returned to England with a large collection of Asian works of art.
