A cow and calf, and a boatwoman with a child on her back is a 2 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a cow tied to a calf and a woman on a boat carrying a child. It’s a simple scene but full of life. George Chinnery made it in 1836 using pencil or ink. The artist traveled a lot and drew everyday moments like this one. Here, he captures two small stories in one frame. Check out more works on paper by George Chinnery.
