Two junks and a Tanka boat is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a drawing from 1825 showing two Chinese trading ships called junks anchored in calm water. A smaller Tanka boat is tied up beside one junk. It’s a quiet scene—no big waves or storms here. George Chinnery spent years in China and India sketching scenes like this. His drawings often show everyday life along the coast and rivers. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
