George Chinnery’s drawing shows Macau’s skyline peeking over flat fields. A neat path lined with trees cuts through the grass. On the left, the trees frame the view like a natural frame. Chinnery lived in Macau for years. He often sketched its mix of Chinese and European life. This drawing shows how quiet the countryside felt next to the busy port.
