19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A vendor and customer is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows two Chinese men in a quiet market moment. One sits by a square tray held up by a basket. The other bends down to look at something on the tray. George Chinnery worked in China and India in the 1800s. Drawings like this let him capture everyday life with quick, sharp lines. Look up George Chinnery next.
