A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a view looking northeast up Largo do Senado in Macau, showing figures approaching the entrance to the Santa Casa da Misericórdia church. The work is part of a volume containing 130 drawings made in Macau, Guangzhou, and nearby areas. The drawing was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 works by Chinnery. Chinnery, born in London in 1774, worked as a portraitist in India before settling in Macau in 1825, where he remained until his death in 1852.
