Figures at a ghat
Wikipedia - "George Chinnery (... 5 January 1774 – 30 May 1852) was an English painter who spent most of his life in Asia, especially India and southern China. ... Other than artistic value, his paintings are historically valuable as he was the only western painter resident in South China between the early and mid 19th century. He vividly depicted the life of ordinary people and the landscape of the Pearl River Delta at that period. Among the subjects of his portraits are the Scottish opium traders William Jardine and James Matheson as well as the diarist Harriet Low."
