Chinese men surrounding a basket is a 6 by George Chinnery, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made this drawing of people in a market scene in 1850. It shows a small crowd around a basket—maybe a seller with buyers. Other figures stand further back. The artist worked in both Impressionism and Realism. That mix shows up in his line work here. Next time you’re at the Victoria and Albert Museum, look for works on paper by George Chinnery.
