A cow and three pigs

About this work

George Chinnery drew a cow standing tall beside three pigs lying down. He made this work in 1833 using just a pencil or pen. The museum says there are also two quick sketches in the same drawing. It’s a simple scene, but Chinnery worked fast—he finished the whole piece in less than a month. The drawing shows the animals in peaceful poses, with light touches for shading.
