A dog, and two boatwomen by their beached craft is an 8 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A drawing from a volume of 179 sheets includes a long-nosed dog lying with its right foreleg extended, alongside two inverted sketches of boatwomen beside a beached Tanka boat.
