From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Mastheads and a mast base is a 4 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting Lantern, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows temple masts and a mast base. The details are interesting because they seem to be from a specific place, likely the A-Ma Temple in Macau. The drawings of the masts and base are done with care, showing the artist's attention to detail. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Chinnery, George.
The drawings depict the upper sections of temple masts, likely those situated in front of the A-Ma Temple in Macau, alongside a depiction of the stone pedestal at the base of one mast. These works are part of an album containing 175 sketches made during Chinnery's time in China and India. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, originally containing 93 drawings by George Chinnery, who lived in Macau from 1825 until his death in 1852.
