10
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A pig is a 10 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a simple sketch of a pig. George Chinnery drew it from the back, left side. It’s a pencil drawing, not paint or print. The date on it is November 8, 1836. That makes it an early example of Romanticism in animal art. The style feels loose, not polished like a finished study. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of Chinnery’s work.
The drawing depicts a standing pig viewed from behind and to the left, part of an album containing 179 sheets of works made in Bengal and Macau. It was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of a collection of 93 drawings by George Chinnery, who worked extensively in British India and China during the early 19th century.
