11
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Western woman seated at a table is a 11 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a woman seated at a table. The artist left her head blank. Her finger marks a page in a book. A short note by the artist hints this was a study for a portrait. George Chinnery often sketched this way. He made quick notes to help with later paintings. The shorthand looks personal and unfinished. Look up the artist George Chinnery next.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a woman seated at a table, her head not included, with one finger marking a page in a book; the shorthand inscription indicates it may relate to a portrait of Mrs Dallas, wife of Alexander Grant Dallas of Jardine, Matheson. The work is part of an album containing 406 drawings made in Macau, Guangzhou, and Bengal. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, originally comprising 93 drawings by Chinnery.
