20
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A waterside house with potted plants along its balcony, and a Tanka boat is a 20 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a waterside house with potted plants on its balcony and a Tanka boat nearby. This drawing is interesting because it combines two different scenes: the house and the boat. The house has a cozy balcony with plants, while the boat has a figure under a rattan covering. To learn more about this style, look into the technique of cross-hatching.
The sheet contains two drawings by George Chinnery: one depicts a waterside house with wooden posts and potted plants along its balcony, while the other shows a Tanka boat connected to the shore by a gangplank, with a figure beneath a rattan covering. Both drawings are part of an album of 175 sketches made in China and India.
