About this work

The painting shows the main entrance to the A-Ma Temple in Macau. It's a drawing with a unique feature: a second drawing of fishermen is turned sideways. This combination is interesting because it shows two different scenes together. The artist likely wanted to show both the temple and daily life in Macau. To learn more about the artist's style, look up the technique: cross-hatching.
