Drawing, Chinese players beneath a parasol is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A pen-and-ink drawing over pencil shows six Chinese figures gathered around a board that rests on a basket, with a parasol above them; two posters are attached to the wall on the right. The sheet was later acquired as part of an album of drawings by George Chinnery, who worked in India and China during the early nineteenth century.
