A grazing cow is a 14 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made a drawing of a grazing cow in 1833. This work is part of Romanticism, a movement that often focused on nature and animals. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this piece. The artist used a simple subject to show off careful line work. Drawings like this were common in the 1800s for studying animals up close. Check out cross-hatching next.
A grazing cow is depicted in this drawing by George Chinnery, created along the south China coast, specifically in Macau, Canton (Guangzhou), or its surrounding areas. The work is part of an album of 93 drawings by Chinnery, bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange. Chinnery, born in London in 1774, worked as a portraitist before relocating to India and later settling in Macau in 1825, where he remained until his death in 1852.
