18
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Three figure drawings is a 18 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
These are quick sketches on paper. Three small ink drawings by George Chinnery. One shows a boy leading a cow and calf. Another has a person bent over with baskets. The third shows two women and a child in a boat. Chinnery made these in Macau in 1834. That’s the same year Charles Darwin published his book on coral reefs. The drawings mix everyday life with a light touch. Look up George Chinnery next.
Three ink figure drawings by George Chinnery depict Chinese subjects: a boy leading a cow and calf, a figure bending with baskets, and two boatwomen with a child aboard a Tanka boat. The drawings are part of a larger album containing 179 sheets created during his time in Bengal and Macau. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, originally part of a collection of 93 drawings by Chinnery.
