19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Three sketches of boats and figures is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made quick, loose sketches of boats and people. This one shows two views of a boat with its sail down, plus two figures sketched upside-down. The lines are loose and fast, like he caught the scene in a hurry. The drawing sits in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection. It’s small, just a few marks on paper, but it feels alive. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
Two sketches by George Chinnery depict a Tanka boat with its sail lowered, one drawing shown inverted, while a third inverted sketch shows two figures. The drawings are part of a larger album containing 97 sheets of sketches of shipping, figures, and animals, primarily created in China. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of a collection of 93 drawings by Chinnery.
