A Chinese barber and customer, and a cow is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The drawing depicts a barber tending to a seated customer's head alongside a cow facing the viewer, part of a volume containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau. It is one of 93 works by George Chinnery bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange. Chinnery, born in London in 1774, worked as a portraitist in India before settling in Macau in 1825, where he remained until his death in 1852.
