George Chinnery drew two small junks anchored off Macau in 1835. One boat has a rattan roof and an eye painted on the bow. The other has a small sail. He captured everyday life with simple lines and light shading. Romanticism often showed ships and foreign ports in new ways. This sheet is small but tells a clear story of trade and travel. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
