About this work

George Chinnery drew a path climbing beside a long wall in this 1831 work. The scene follows a path up a hill, next to a wall that may link Fort Bomparto to Penha Hill. This drawing shows Macau in the early 1800s. Chinnery spent years there, sketching daily life and scenery. Look up the museum that holds this drawing: Victoria and Albert Museum.
