Two drawings of Tanka boats is a 10 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made two quick sketches of Tanka boats floating on water in 1833. One boat has a sail up, the other is bare. The soft lines and light shading show the boats’ shapes and the water’s surface. This Romantic drawing captures simple scenes with calm precision. You can almost feel the breeze on the paper. Check out George Chinnery.
Two drawings by George Chinnery depict Tanka boats floating on water, one of which is shown with its sail raised. The works are part of a larger album containing 97 sheets of sketches featuring shipping, figures, and animals, primarily created in China. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, including 93 drawings by Chinnery, who spent much of his later career in Macau after establishing himself as a prominent artist in British India.
