Buildings flanking the Inner Harbour, Macau is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows buildings and boats by the Inner Harbour in Macau. The scene looks peaceful, with Tanka boats by the seawall. It's interesting that the artist drew this scene in a style similar to George Chinnery, a British artist who worked in Asia. The drawing uses a technique like cross-hatching to create details, which is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique of cross-hatching.
A drawing from 1850 depicts buildings along the Inner Harbour in Macau, framed by Tanka boats moored at the seawall, executed in a style reminiscent of George Chinnery. The work is part of a volume containing 130 drawings made in Macau, Guangzhou, and nearby areas. It was later bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album originally attributed to Chinnery, though the artist's involvement remains unverified.
