Three Chinese figures is a 14 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made a drawing called *Three Chinese figures* in 1836. It’s a simple scene: three men sitting on the ground, maybe playing a game. A basket sits off to the right. The artist worked in the Romantic style, which often shows everyday moments with feeling. This drawing feels casual, like a quick sketch from life. They used paper and ink, common tools for artists back then. Check out more of George Chinnery’s work next.

The work is part of an album of 130 drawings created in Macau, Guangzhou, and nearby areas. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, containing 93 drawings by Chinnery. Chinnery, a British artist born in 1774, spent his later years in Macau after establishing himself in India, where he worked primarily as a portraitist.
