This drawing shows two quick sketches from 1843. On the left, Chinese men guess how many porcelain pieces are in a bowl. On the right, a Macanese woman wears a traditional mantle over her head. Chinnery made these while living in Macau. He kept the lines loose, just enough to show mood, not detail. Check out more works by George Chinnery.
