From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Figures eating at a food stall is a 6 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a quick sketch of people eating near a food stall in Macau. The artist used simple lines to show life around a market near S. Domingos church. A cow and some railings appear in the right side of the drawing. Chinnery drew this in 1835. It’s a snapshot of daily scenes, not a formal portrait. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this one.

Part of a volume containing 179 drawings made in Bengal and Macau, it was later bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 works by Chinnery.
