About this work

George Chinnery shows a high brick wall with the church’s upper façade peeking over it. In the street below, a small food stall hums with life — vendors, customers, and a man holding a parasol over two Macanese women walking past. Chinnery lived in Macau for years. He often sketched everyday scenes like this, blending foreign and local life with quick, lively lines. If you like this, try another Chinnery, George drawing.
