George Chinnery drew a dog’s quiet moment in 1825. The sheet shows the animal stretched out, left paw reaching forward. It’s a simple scene, but the lines feel alive. Chinnery worked in India and China, sketching everyday life. This drawing shows his skill with quick, sure marks. The dog looks relaxed, but the artist caught a small motion. Look up cross-hatching next.
