Asia.- Chinnery (George, 1774-1852) The cook's stall, probably Macao, pencil, inscribed with artist's annotations in shorthand underneath, on thin handmade Chinese paper, 90 x 115 mm (3 1/2 x 4 1/2 in), under glass, minor spotting, hinged into mount, framed, [1837]

⁂ Executed and recorded on the spot, with the movement of figures captured in Chinnery's dramatic flurry of lines. This scene must have interested the artist, with another dated example from a slightly different angle executed in pen and ink, held in the British Museum (see acc. no. 1886,1012.492).
