19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Part of the Praya Grande, Macau is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a view of the Praya Grande in Macau. It's a drawing of the city's waterfront, with buildings and a bay. The artist included a convent on a hill in the background, which adds depth to the scene. The drawing is detailed, with many lines and shading. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: cross-hatching.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts the southwestern section of the Praya Grande in Macau, showing the bay to the left and a view toward the convent on Penha Hill. The work is part of an album containing 175 sketches made during his time in China and India. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, originally including 93 drawings by Chinnery.
