A Macau boatwoman with two children is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A drawing depicts a barefoot Macao boatwoman wearing a headscarf, accompanied by two children—one standing and one crouching—on a beach with the sea visible in the background. The work was bequeathed in 1928 as part of an album of drawings by George Chinnery, who lived in Macau from 1825 until his death in 1852 after establishing himself as a prominent artist in British India.
