About this work

This drawing shows a quiet hillside covered in grass and dotted with old stone ruins. The scattered blocks and crumbling walls feel soft under the Romantic eye. George Chinnery made it in 1834, all in simple pencil lines. It’s one of the few finished drawings he left from that decade. Look for more of Chinnery’s work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
