19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A junk with smaller craft is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a drawing of a large Chinese junk boat sitting still in the water. It has its big sail rolled up tight. Four smaller boats float close by. George Chinnery spent years in Asia drawing ships like this. He worked in India before moving to China and kept filling sketchbooks with scenes like this one. Look up the technique called cross-hatching next.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a large junk anchored with its sails furled, accompanied by four smaller boats. The work is part of a volume containing 93 sheets of sketches made in Macau and its vicinity.
