19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Fishermen by a beached Tanka boat, Macau is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made this drawing in 1825. It shows quiet work by the water. A person pulls a net from the bay. A Tanka boatwoman waits beside a beached boat. The Romantic style often shows daily life with feeling. This piece catches a small, real moment. You can almost hear the lapping waves. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
A figure is depicted hauling a fishing net at the edge of a bay, while a Tanka boatwoman stands beside a beached boat in the foreground. The drawing is part of an album containing 97 sheets of sketches by George Chinnery, primarily focused on shipping, figures, and animals in China. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange and includes 93 drawings by Chinnery.
