19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
The Barrier, Macao, from Crysilia's Bay is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts Cacilhas Bay on the eastern side of Macau’s peninsula, showing a view looking northwest toward a long gated wall that once separated Macau from mainland China. In the foreground, a skate lies across a fisherman’s net on the beach, while the bay is historically noted as the site of a 1622 Dutch attack repelled by the Portuguese. The work is part of an album containing 130 drawings made in Macau, Guangzhou, and nearby areas.
