13
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Chinese figure carrying a child and a basket is a 13 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made a drawing in 1843. It shows a Chinese man with a basket in front and a child on his back. The child wears a cap over head and neck. The basket sits low in front of the man. This gives the scene a quiet, everyday feel. The cap on the child hints at the sun’s strength. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a Chinese man carrying a child on his back while holding a basket in front of him; the child wears a protective cap covering the head and neck. The work is part of an album containing 406 drawings made during Chinnery’s time in Macau, Guangzhou, and Bengal. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, originally comprising 93 drawings by the artist.
