About this work

This is a drawing from the Romantic era. It shows four subjects: a Macanese woman, another woman with a raised parasol, a man in a wide hat, and a pig, all sketched in a single scene. The artist worked on it over a long stretch—from 1838 to 1849—so it likely took patience to finish. It’s kept at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
