About this work

This is a sketch from the 1800s. It shows three people in a fancy sitting room—a grown man and woman on a sofa, a child in a bonnet between them, and a dog at their feet. George Chinnery drew it using simple lines and shading. The artist left the room’s details loose and soft. You can almost feel the quiet moment between the three.
