George Chinnery made a drawing of a young woman arranging her hair. It’s a simple scene: she stands by a table, her hands lifting strands of hair. The artist dated it April 8, 1842. That’s over 180 years ago. Drawings from this time often used fine lines to show light and shadow. Next time you visit the Victoria and Albert Museum, look up George Chinnery.
