Tanka boats by a gateway at the water's edge, Macau is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made a drawing of Tanka boats at a gateway in Macau. The boats sit by the water’s edge. A small wooden gateway with a gabled roof is right there. This was made between 1825 and 1852. It shows everyday life in Macau long ago. The drawing captures a quiet moment with simple tools. Look up George Chinnery next.
