A cow and calf is a 16 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a cow and calf walking side by side. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast. The cow’s hump and the calf’s small size stand out clearly. The artist focused on movement, not details. The paper has some marks and a date in the corner, but nothing else stands out. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
