Drawings of cattle is a 1 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting Cattle, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew these in 1841. Five sheets show a cow, one a calf, plus a quick sketch with people and more cattle. It’s a small, focused set of studies. He worked fast, capturing shapes and textures with simple lines. You can almost feel the weight of the animals in the marks he made. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The drawings depict five studies of a cow and one of a calf, along with a quick sketch featuring figures and cattle, all contained within a volume of 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau. The album, bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, includes 93 drawings by George Chinnery, who worked in British India and China during the early 19th century.
