The market outside the church of S. Domingos, Macau is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a bustling market scene with vendors and food stalls outside a church. The drawing shows people going about their daily lives. It's interesting that the artist included a barber and customer on the left, which adds a sense of community to the scene.

The drawing depicts the market and street beside the railings of S. Domingos in Macau, showing vendors and food stalls along with a barber attending to a customer on the left. It is part of an album containing 175 sheets of sketches made in China and India. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, originally containing 93 drawings by George Chinnery.
