George Chinnery made a detailed drawing of Macao’s skyline in 1836. It shows the Franciscan Fort on its rocky cliff, plus Mr. Whiteman’s house and parts of the citadel and S. Paulo façade across the bay. The artist captured this scene in Romantic style, with soft shading and careful lines. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the original drawing.
