19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A blacksmith at his anvil is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made this drawing in 1825. It shows a blacksmith at work, hammer raised over his anvil. You can see a pot, baskets, and a sledgehammer nearby. Smoke rises from a furnace in the background. This was made in the Romantic era. Artists then liked scenes of everyday life and strong feelings. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
The drawing depicts a blacksmith leaning over an anvil with a hammer raised, accompanied by a cooking pot, baskets, and a sledgehammer, while smoke from a furnace rises in the background. It is part of a volume containing 130 drawings made in Macau, Guangzhou, and nearby areas. The work was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 drawings by George Chinnery, who worked in British India and later settled in Macau.
