A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a small junk under sail, with figures on board, included in a volume of 97 sheets of sketches featuring shipping, figures, and animals, mostly created in China. The work was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album containing 93 drawings by Chinnery. Chinnery, born in London in 1774, established himself as a prominent Western artist in British India, later settling in Macau in 1825, where he worked until his death in 1852. His subjects included Western merchants, Chinese hong merchants, and Tanka boatwomen, among others.
