19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A cow and calf is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting Cattle, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a cow standing near her calf, tied up close by. George Chinnery used simple lines to bring the animals to life on paper. The calf looks small and curious next to the bigger cow. The drawing was made between 1825 and 1852. See how Chinnery used delicate shading to shape the cows. His paper sketch feels alive in a quiet way. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with tiny lines.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a cow standing beside a calf that is tethered. The work is part of a volume containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau. The drawing was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 works by Chinnery.
