This drawing shows Macau’s skyline with three key landmarks. It’s a quiet study of buildings and churches from high ground. The artist uses a Romantic eye for place and time. The view covers S. Paulo’s burnt façade, Monte Fort’s flag, and S. Domingos below. A watercolour version swaps in a goat on the left. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
