George Chinnery drew two versions of the same scene in pencil and ink. In both, a boatwoman carries a child on her shoulder. The Victoria and Albert Museum keeps these simple, direct drawings. They’re close in date, but one is sketched in pencil, the other inked over it. You can see the artist trying different ways to get the same moment down. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
