19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Drawings of a man carrying two pails, and a doorway in a wall is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a man with two wooden pails on a pole over his shoulder. He walks past a plain doorway in a rough stone wall. The scene looks quiet and ordinary. George Chinnery made this while traveling in India. He often drew daily life with quick, sharp lines. You can almost hear the pails swinging. Look up Chinnery, George next.
The drawing depicts a man carrying two pails suspended from a pole over his shoulder and a doorway set into the corner of a masonry wall. It is part of an album containing 175 sheets of sketches made in China and India. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, originally containing 93 drawings by George Chinnery.
