George Chinnery made two quick sketches of Chinese men in 1846. One is a fast pencil drawing of four men. The other fills in five men with ink and shows a basket of food on the ground. He used two styles in one piece: loose pencil lines and careful ink shading. On the back, he drew the entrance to a convent in Macau.
