A Chinese man seated at a table, watched by two children is a 1850 by George Chinnery, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The drawing shows a man seated at a stall with two children watching him. The scene is set in a simple environment, with the man holding an upturned cup above his stall. This suggests that the man might be a vendor or a seller of some kind. You can learn more about the artist who created this drawing, George Chinnery.
