George Chinnery drew two studies of Chinese boats in 1826. One boat has furled sails under a series of awnings. The other shows a sail set. He worked in India and China during the early 1800s. These quick sketches capture everyday craft in detail. They feel fresh, like he just stepped off a dock. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see these drawings.
