George Chinnery drew a Macau boatwoman with a child strapped to her back. It’s a quick sketch on paper, not a big painting. This work is part of a group dated between 1825 and 1852. The artist often showed everyday life in Macau. This drawing fits the Romantic style, where feelings and details matter more than perfect lines. Take a look at George Chinnery next.
