George Chinnery (1774 – 1852)
George Chinnery (1774-1852) var en britisk maler som skapte levende portretter og landskap fra India og Kina. Hans arbeid fanger kolonitidens liv med følelse og er kjent for sin orientalske stil og bruk av shorthand.
Chinnery painted more than a dozen self-portraits, the first of which he exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, in 1798; this is the most intimate and engaging of them all. An enigmatic figure, Chinnery was eccentric and volatile, with a tendency to hypochondria, a raconteur and wit with a gift for friendship. This likeness was painted in China and must date to the years 1825–28. Its first owner was the United States consul Benjamin Chew Wilcox, a businessman in the opium trade who commissioned a full-length portrait of himself from the artist (The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd.).
