19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A grazing goat is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew a goat in 1825. It’s a simple scene: a goat eating grass on a slope. The artist used paper and pencil to capture this. The date range in the facts is odd—1825 to 1852. Maybe the drawing was finished closer to 1825. Either way, it shows a quiet moment. Check out George Chinnery’s other animal drawings next.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a goat grazing on a downward slope, part of an album containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau. The work was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 drawings by Chinnery. George Chinnery (1774–1852), born in London, worked as a portrait artist before moving to India in 1802 and later settling in Macau in 1825, where he continued his artistic practice.
