A cow beside a ruined building is a 16 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A cow stands beside a crumbling ruin in this drawing. The artist used simple lines to show the animal and its setting. A large dish and distant palm trees appear in the background. George Chinnery worked in India and China in the early 1800s. He often sketched everyday scenes with quick, sharp lines. Look up the technique called cross-hatching next.
