From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Macanese woman walking in a cape is a 14 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A Macau woman is depicted walking while wearing a traditional dark cloth cape that covers her head and upper body, known as a *dó*. The drawing is part of an album of works by George Chinnery, bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange. Chinnery, who lived from 1774 to 1852, was a British artist who spent much of his career in India before settling in Macau in 1825. During his time there, he created portraits of both Western residents and local figures, including Tanka boatwomen.
