A Chinese Sampan Girl depicts a young Tanka girl wearing traditional clothing and a rattan hat, holding a scarf in her hand. The girl is portrayed with a full and round figure, a sweet smile, and a kind expression. Chinnery’s signature elements are evident in the quick brushwork, use of vermillion in the cheeks and lips, and the subtle play of shadows. The painting showcases the artist’s ability to idealize his subject, blending realism with a touch of elegance, characteristic of his work during his time in southern China.
