George Chinnery drew a Chinese junk in 1829. It’s a simple line work, not a painting—just ink on paper. You see the big boat from behind, a smaller boat beside it, and buildings along the Praya Grande. The junk sits low in the water, sails down. It’s a quiet scene, no crowds, just the harbor and a few shapes. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the drawing.
