Tan Kim Tian died on 18th December 1882

Remarks - There should be a mistake as Tan Beng Wan was mentioned as an Adopted son by Song Ong Siang book and also the age difference. Beng Wan was much older . 



In this portrait, Tan Kim Tian (1832-1882) is depicted seated by an ornate table, accompanied by objects that point to his learning, taste and wealth. Dressed in a black jacket (magua) over a blue silk robe (changpao), he holds a fan, on which a Chinese landscape painting is visible. The portrait is signed, ‘Drawn by Ong Kwee Huang, Coleman Street No. 22, Singapore, AD 1887.’ Together with his son Tan Beng Wan, Tan Kim Tian founded Tan Kim Tian and Son Steamship Company in 1871, which was one of the first in Singapore to buy and build ships. He was also the first president of the Tan clan temple. Botan House was built by Tan Kim Tian in 1883 at the corner of Neil Road and Craig Road (since demolished).
