6
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A street in Macau is a 6 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery shows a narrow Macau street. It’s filled with people, a cow, and brick buildings. The taller one in the back stands out against the sky. This drawing uses fine lines to build shadows and shapes. You’ll see details like hats, baskets, and laundry on poles. It’s not just a place—it’s a moment frozen in time. Look for another Chinnery, George drawing to compare.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a street scene in Macau, featuring figures and a cow, with a taller building rising above the surrounding rooftops. The work is part of an album containing 175 sheets of sketches made in China and India. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, including 93 drawings by Chinnery.
