14
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Two Chinese men in wet-weather dress is a 14 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew two Chinese men in wet-weather gear one rainy day in 1832. They stand in Macau with poles, buckets, and a hint of rain. The paper shows careful marks—his style leans on line, not color. The date on the sheet tells us this was finished in a single afternoon. A quick study, yet full of life. Look up George Chinnery next.
A pencil drawing by George Chinnery from 1832 depicts two Chinese men in wet-weather attire, accompanied by carrying poles and buckets, created in Macau. The work is part of a volume containing 93 sketches made in Macau and its surrounding areas. Chinnery, who lived in Macau from 1825 until his death in 1852, was a prominent Western artist in British India before relocating to China. His sketches often featured both Western and Chinese subjects, reflecting the diverse communities he encountered.
