This drawing shows a small Chinese junk from 1826. It’s done on paper in ink by George Chinnery. The boat has its sails down and a straw cover over the middle of the deck. Chinnery lived in Macau and India, so he saw many trading ships like this. He often sketched coastal life and boats in the early 1800s. Look up cross-hatching next.
