19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Fields and trees, with the city of Macau in the distance is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows fields and trees with the city of Macau in the distance. The artist included a lot of details in the foreground, like trees and hills. The drawing also has sketches of cattle on the back, which suggests the artist was interested in everyday life. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique: cross-hatching.
A distant view of Macau’s buildings is framed by open country, a cluster of trees, and rolling hills in the background. On the reverse side of the sheet, quick pencil sketches and three ink studies of cattle are visible. The drawing is part of an album containing 175 sketches made in China and India.
