A bridge at Honan is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a simple bridge over a canal. The bridge is in Honan, a place near Guangzhou, a major trading city. This drawing was made during a time when Western traders were active in the area, which is interesting because it gives us a glimpse of what the place looked like back then. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of cross-hatching.
