A goat and kid is a 13 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting cattle, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew this in 1832. It’s a simple sheet of paper showing a goat grazing with her kid close behind. Nothing fancy, just two animals in a quiet moment. Drawings like this weren’t common then. Artists usually painted. Chinnery chose pencil instead, focusing on the soft shapes of fur and gentle shadows. Next time, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
