19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A man and a boy driving cattle is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a Chinese man and boy moving two cattle along a path. It’s a small, careful work on paper, not a big painting. Chinnery was in China when he made this in the 1820s. The scene feels quiet and ordinary, yet the marks on the page bring the animals and people to life. Look next at the artist George Chinnery.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a Chinese man and boy guiding a cow and calf, part of a volume containing 93 sheets of sketches made in Macau and its vicinity.
