From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A junk with sails furled is a 4 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made this quick drawing of a junk boat in 1826. It’s small, just a few inches wide, done on paper with pencil and ink. The boat’s sails are down and tied tight. A single figure stands on the covered deck at the back. The drawing shows calm water and a simple rope line in the front. Check out George Chinnery’s other waterfront sketches next.
