16
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
An Indian figure with a horse and carriage is a 16 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting Carriage, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a drawing from the early 1800s. It shows a groom holding a horse tied to a small carriage. The artist used simple lines to capture the scene. The horse is hitched to a light, two-wheeled carriage. The groom stands close, steadying the animal. It’s a quiet moment, not grand or dramatic—just everyday work.
