This is a simple drawing of a cow standing and facing left. It’s done in 1835 by George Chinnery, a British artist who worked mostly in India and China. The sheet is small—about the size of a page torn from a sketchbook. Chinnery often used fine lines to build up light and shadow. This drawing feels quick yet precise, like he set the pose in a few strokes. Next try George Chinnery.
