This drawing shows three men in China, two sitting with small baskets nearby and one standing holding a basket of goods. It’s a quick scene from daily life, not a formal portrait. The artist, George Chinnery, made this in 1844 while traveling. He often sketched people he met, capturing moments just as they were. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of his work.
