Chinnery returned to London in 1801 without his wife and two infant children and in 1801 sailed to Madras, where he established himself as a painter and subsequently in Calcutta, where he became the leading artist of the British community in India. From 1825 until his death in 1852 Chinnery based himself in Macau where he painted many portraits of visiting sea-captains, Chinese and Western merchants, and their families resident there.

          George Chinnery,  British 1774-1852-  Two Sketches: Study of two seated figures; and In the Bazaar, Macao;  each pencil, pen and brown ink on paper, each inscribed in the artist's shorthand, the first 9.4 x 10.3 cm., the second 14.4 x 15.5 cm., two (2).  Provenance:  Private collection of Dr John & Mary Esther O'Driscoll, Kildare, Ireland;  thence by descent to the present owners.  Note:  The present works are characteristic studies by Chinnery, who, as the only western painter in South China in the early to mid 19th century, produced works which are of significant historical interest. Chinnery was based in Macau from 1825 until his death in 1852, making regular visits to Canton (now Guangzhou) until 1832.  These sketches depict figures and scenes that Chinnery encountered during his time in China. One is a snapshot of two figures, possibly haggling, at a market stall at a bazaar in Macau, whilst another appears to depict two seated men playing a game, although their specific actions are tantalisingly obscured from view. This composition reinforces Chinnery's role as an outside observer, documenting the lifestyle and customs of early 19th-century China as he experienced them with a striking immediacy.

Dodging his debts, some twenty years later he arrived in Macau and made the island his home until his death in 1852. Fascinated by the artistic possibilities of Macau's shoreline and the local tradespeople he was an inveterate recorder of everyday life, as evident in the present very full page of annotated sketches.

In August 1840, four years after Chinnery sketched the present work, the Battle of the Barrier between the Chinese and the British broke out. It was sparked by the kidnap of Reverend Vincent Stanton while swimming at Casilha Bay in Macau which caused uproar in the British community. The ensuing rout of the Chinese by the British was a defining moment during the first Opium Wars (1839-1842).
