9
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Western couple at a table; on the back, a young Western woman drawing flowers is a 9 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew this Romantic sketch in 1827. A woman sits at a table while a man stands beside her. On the back, another woman sketches a vase of flowers. The drawing has two scenes—one on each side of the paper. It shows how artists used every scrap of space. If this style grabs you, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A sketch shows a woman seated at a pedestal table with a man standing beside her, while the reverse features a woman resting a sketchbook on a sofa arm to draw a vase of flowers. The drawing is part of a volume containing 466 works made in Macau, Guangzhou, and Bengal. It was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 drawings by George Chinnery, who worked in British India and later settled in Macau.
