A sleeping dog is a 4 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made a drawing in 1841 called *A sleeping dog*. It shows a dog resting on the ground, its head on one paw. This small drawing is a quiet study of an animal at rest. Chinnery often sketched animals and people in everyday moments. It’s a quick, careful line work, not a big finished painting. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this drawing today. museum: Victoria and Albert Museum

The work is part of an album of 93 drawings by George Chinnery bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange. Chinnery, born in London in 1774, worked as a portraitist before traveling to India in 1802 and later settling in Macau in 1825, where he remained until his death in 1852.
