A cow and calf is a 17 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting Cattle, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew a cow and calf resting on grass. It’s a simple scene but full of quiet life. The calf nuzzles close to its mother, both relaxed in the shade. This drawing is dated July 27, 1833. Chinnery worked in India and China, but this one shows a calm countryside moment. Check out more Romanticism at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a cow and calf reclining on a grassy knoll, part of an album of 93 works created along the south China coast, including Macau and Canton (Guangzhou). The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange. Chinnery, who lived from 1774 to 1852, was a British artist known for portraits and landscapes, later settling in Macau after years of travel and artistic work in India and China.
