A group of Indian musicians and dancers is a 16 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a group of female dancers and male musicians. The scene is likely set in India, which was a British colony at the time, and this drawing might reflect the artist's experiences or interests in the local culture. The fact that it's a drawing suggests the artist might have been sketching from life or making quick studies. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a group of female dancers accompanied by male musicians. Part of an album of 406 drawings made in Macau, Guangzhou, and Bengal, the work was bequeathed in 1928 as part of a collection of 93 Chinnery drawings.
