About this work

A man stands in a tall doorway in Macau. The doorway has curved stone edges and a balcony above. A lamp glows beside him. Chinnery often drew buildings this way. He liked showing how light and shadow move across surfaces. The lines are sharp and clean. His drawings feel alive. Look for other Chinnery, George drawings at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
