A Chinese junk with a sail partially raised is a 15 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a Chinese junk from the back, its sail half-raised like a ghost of wind still trapped in the lines. George Chinnery made it in 1835, just a quick sheet of paper and ink—no color, no big crowd. Look past the boats to the way he set the ink down. You can almost feel the water beneath the hull without ever seeing a wave. Next, peek at stippling.
