This drawing shows Macau’s bay in 1832. The church and fort of São Francisco stand tall on the right. A two-story house with small columns peeks from the left. George Chinnery made this while living in Macau. He used ink and cross-hatching to show light and shadow. The lines look loose but still hold shape. Look up Chinnery, George if you like this style.
