From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A standing boatwoman is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A pencil drawing by George Chinnery depicts a standing boatwoman in bare feet, wearing the broad-brimmed hat and loosely-tied neckerchief typical of Tanka boatwomen. The work forms part of an album of Chinnery’s drawings bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange. Chinnery, who trained in London and later worked in India and China, is known for his portraits and scenes of the region.
