George Chinnery drew this Romanticist sketch in 1836. It shows the front door of the Misericórdia Church in Macau’s Senado Square. The church still stands today, though rebuilt around 1905. Chinnery lived in Macau and often sketched its streets and buildings. This drawing captures two landmarks side-by-side: the church and the neoclassical Leal Senado from 1784. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
