Two drawings by George Chinnery depict a group of seated Chinese men, one holding a parasol, accompanied by additional small sketches; one version is rendered in rapid outline while the other is more detailed. The works are part of a volume containing 460 drawings made during Chinnery’s time in Macau, Guangzhou, and Bengal. Provenance traces the drawings to a 1928 bequest by James Orange, included in an album of 93 works by the artist. Chinnery, born in London in 1774, worked primarily in India and China before settling in Macau, where he died in 1852.
