10
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A goat, and a soldier is a 10 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew a goat resting on the ground. Next to it, a soldier stands with his musket on his shoulder. It’s a simple scene, but the contrast draws you in. The soldier looks ready to march. The goat looks totally at ease. This mix of energy and calm is what makes the sketch stand out. If you like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The drawing features a goat lying on the ground alongside a sketch of a soldier holding a musket over his shoulder. It is part of a larger volume containing 179 sheets of works created in Bengal and Macau. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, who had acquired 93 drawings by George Chinnery.
