Dear Marcos,

I would agree that the quality is good with colours that were exceptionally well controlled. My guess for the dates will be last half of the 19th C. base on the clothing of the Qing army and the use of cannons.
This looks to be the first Han race formulated voluntary army raised by Zeng GuoFan to quell the TaiPing rebellion. Look at the commoner clothing beyond the standard Qing vest and how the rebellion army holding only badly equipped spears.

My imagination running wild.  Grin

Cheers,
YT
