From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A turbaned figure holding a horse is a 5 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting Equestrianism, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a quick sketch from 1842. George Chinnery drew a man in a turban holding a horse’s head. The man is probably a consular worker named Temple Hillyard Layton. The horse is labeled “Mr. Leighton’s,” which hints at a local owner. Chinnery worked in India and China, so this scene likely came from one of those places. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
