A Chinese boat-dwelling on the beach is a 12 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew this in 1833. It’s a quick pen sketch on paper, just a small boat propped up by rocks. A thatched roof covers the boat like a rough hut. The artist shows a boatwoman and child beside it, two figures in daily life. Chinnery worked in India and China long before photography. His drawings mix travel notes with careful observation.
