Chinnery er aka arekti vignette, James Atkinson likhechen, "Another vignette ... from the tasteful pencil of Mr. Chinnery, wherein two or three cottages are seen at a distance across part of the river. The one in the fore-ground is that of a poor muslin weaver, formed of bamboo, mud, and matting thatched with straw: his umbrella and a few of his domestic culinary utensils, are lying about, and at the right hand corner is part of a loom".
