About this work

This is a quick sketch from 1833. George Chinnery drew a cat hunched over a plate, its head lowered to eat. It’s a small, private moment made into art. The cat looks absorbed in its meal. Chinnery worked in India and China, where he often drew animals and daily life. Check out what else is at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
