16
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
An ox and cart by a ruined building, Bengal is a 16 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a drawing of a ruined building with an ox and cart nearby. The ruined building has three arches still standing, and the area is overgrown. The drawing also shows a two-wheeled cart, which was a common mode of transportation at the time, adding a sense of everyday life to the scene. This scene is similar to work by artist: Chinnery, George.
The drawing depicts an ox and a two-wheeled cart beside an overgrown ruin with three arches still standing. It is part of an album containing 175 sketches made in China and India by George Chinnery. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange and originally included 93 drawings by Chinnery.
