12
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A dog, and other sketches is a 12 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery’s 1840 ink drawing shows a dog plus smaller sketches of a pig, a goat and a barber cutting hair. It’s a quick, lively page—not a polished finish. The artist mixed subjects in one sheet, saving paper. The barber’s scene feels especially funny. Chinnery dashed it off without fuss.

The drawing features a dog alongside sketches of a pig, a goat partially cut off at the top margin, and a barber attending to a seated customer. It is part of a volume containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau by George Chinnery. The work is part of an album of 93 drawings by Chinnery, bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange.
