19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A cow on a grassy slope is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Here’s a fresh rewrite, grounded in the facts and keeping it simple: This is a drawing of a cow, seen from the left. George Chinnery made it between 1825 and 1852. It’s a small work on paper, typical of his time. The Romantic style often focused on nature and animals. This drawing shows that interest in quiet, everyday scenes.

A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a cow viewed from the left, part of an album containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau. The work was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 drawings by Chinnery. Chinnery, born in London in 1774, worked as a portraitist before moving to India in 1802 and later settling in Macau in 1825, where he continued to draw until his death in 1852.
