George Chinnery made these three figure drawings in 1843. They’re simple line sketches, not colored in. Two show a Chinese man with a parasol and a basket. One shows a Macanese woman in a cloak. The drawings show daily life in early 19th-century Asia. They’re small—just quick studies of people walking. The artist worked fast, catching shapes and poses.
