This drawing shows three Chinese men playing a game. It’s a small sheet of paper made in 1825. The artist used simple lines to show them sitting close together. One man sits on a raised step near a wall. The others squat nearby, focused on the game. It feels quiet and ordinary, like a moment frozen in time. Look up the artist George Chinnery next.
