16
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
An Indian cart is a 16 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a drawing from 1825. It shows a bullock cart, a person, and cattle on laid paper. A figure sits beside the cart, smoking from a hubble-bubble pipe. Chinnery adds realism with details like smoke curling up. The scene feels quiet but full of small life. You can almost hear the cattle shift their weight. Try looking up cross-hatching next.
A sketch on laid paper by George Chinnery depicts a figure seated beside cattle and a two-wheeled bullock cart, with smoke rising from a coconut-shell hubble-bubble. The drawing is part of a volume containing 179 sheets of works made in Bengal and Macau. It was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 drawings by Chinnery.
