About this work

George Chinnery drew two quick, lively sketches of a boatwoman in 1827. Both show her with a baby tied to her back and a basket in front. She turns toward us in one sketch, away in the other. Tucked beside the figures are tiny notes about their headgear. Chinnery often traveled to capture daily life like this. Look up George Chinnery next.
