This is a 1831 drawing by George Chinnery. It shows a three-masted Chinese junk with its sails down and rudder up. A smaller boat with figures sits beside it. Hills fade softly in the background. Chinnery worked in Macau and India, so this scene likely reflects his time in Asia. The drawing captures quiet, daily life on the water. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
