From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Chinese card-players and other figures is a 6 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew Chinese card-players and other figures in 1844. These aren’t paintings—they’re ink and pencil sketches on paper. Two sheets show groups of men playing cards. One sheet has a standing figure. Another sheet shows yet another group. Chinnery worked fast. He made these drawings between June 7 and June 27, 1844. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Two inked drawings depict groups of Chinese men engaged in card games, accompanied by pencil sketches of a standing figure and another group. The work includes inscriptions in shorthand and dates ranging from June 7 to 27, 1844, with annotations such as "X - excellent group" and "study of the... to make at home."
