6
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Tanka boat with a figure seated in the stern is a 6 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a Tanka boat with a person sitting at the back. George Chinnery made it in 1832. It’s a simple scene but full of quiet detail. The boat has a small awning near the front. The seated figure faces away, keeping the focus on the craft itself. Chinnery used drawing techniques common in his time. Just down the hall, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A drawing depicts a Tanka boat with a Chinese figure seated at the stern under an awning, part of a volume containing 130 drawings made in Macau, Guangzhou, and nearby areas. The work was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 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.
