George Chinnery drew three men sitting close to each other in 1825. It’s a simple sheet of paper with charcoal or pencil. A bowl sits on a mat right between them. Chinnery spent years in China and India. He liked to sketch daily life, not just grand scenes. This drawing shows that quiet moment. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
