19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A rider and dog approaching a castle is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery’s drawing shows a rider in a peaked hat, a hound beside him, heading toward a castle gate. It’s a small sheet of paper from 1825–1852, done in Romantic style. The scene feels quiet but ready, the dog alert, the rider calm. Chinnery worked mostly in India and China, but this piece shows a European castle. Next time you’re in London, check the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a rider wearing a peaked hat accompanied by a hound, both approaching a castellated gatehouse. Part of a volume containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau, the work was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album with 93 drawings by Chinnery.
