19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Chinese man, and a boatwoman carrying a child is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a pencil drawing from 1825-1852. It shows two people: a Chinese man in a close cap and a boatwoman with a child on her back. The artist drew the man's head and shoulders in pencil. The boatwoman and child appear in ink. George Chinnery made this during the Romantic era. He worked in India and China, so he saw these two living side by side.
