A cow and a tethered calf is a 1 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a cow and her calf, both calm in a quiet moment. George Chinnery used simple lines to capture their shapes. The calf stands close, its head near the cow’s side. The artist worked in 1835, a time when artists often studied animals closely. This sheet is part of the Romantic style, which liked tender, natural scenes. Look up more drawings by George Chinnery.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a cow with its head turned toward a tethered calf beside her, part of an album of 93 sketches made in Macau and its vicinity. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, containing works by Chinnery, who lived in Macau from 1825 until his death in 1852 after establishing himself as a prominent artist in British India.
