10
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A cow and calf, with other sketches is a 10 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew a cow and calf standing by two posts in 1833. The drawing is simple, just a few quick marks for other animals at the edges. The sketch feels alive because the cow and calf look calm and real. Chinnery kept it loose but clear, using just pencil lines. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a cow and calf positioned between two posts, with additional animal sketches partially visible at the edges. The work is part of an album of 93 drawings bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange. Chinnery, active from 1774 to 1852, began as a miniature portraitist in London before relocating to India and later settling in Macau, where he produced portraits and sketches of both Western and Chinese subjects.
