This is a street scene drawn in 1832–34. George Chinnery shows the entrance to the Misericordia Church in Macau, with its tower rising behind. The view leads up to Fort Monte on a hill in the distance. Chinnery used pencil to capture the quiet slope and buildings under Romantic light. Take a closer look at the technique behind this drawing.
