This drawing shows a steep hill in Macau. At the top sits a small building. Below, houses cluster near the water. A Chinese man rests on wooden masts. A woman rides in a horse-drawn carriage by the docks. George Chinnery drew this in 1852. He lived in Macau for years and sketched its streets often. The scene feels quiet but full of life. See it in person at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
