Courtauld
London, United Kingdom
Dr. Watson settled in Macao in 1845. He was a well-known friend and allegedly a pupil of George Chinnery, the most sought after Western professional artist on the China coast. Chinnery left Britain in 1802 at the age of 28 for India, before settling in Macao in 1825. His style had a great influence on the amateur and professional artists in the region, and one of them was Dr. Watson. When Chinnery died, Dr. Watson was at his bedside and helped sort out his remaining papers and pictures.
