George Chinnery drew these sketches in the early 1800s. They show people with and without clothes. Some hold waterpots. Others stand in water. He worked in India during a time of British rule. The drawings mix daily life with study of the human body. You can feel the heat and light in his lines. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of his work.
