A cow is a 18 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew a cow in 1840. He worked on paper with simple tools. The cow lies down but keeps its head up. This isn’t just a sketch—it’s a calm study of animal life. Chinnery lived in India and China, so the cow may not be European. Romantic artists often focused on nature’s quiet moments like this one. Check out the cross-hatching technique he used here.
