19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Figures and animals is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a drawing from 1840–41 by George Chinnery. It mixes ink and pencil to show a dog, some goats, a standing person, and a foodstall scene turned sideways. The work fits the Romantic style, focused on everyday life with quick, expressive lines. The museum notes say the dog is finished in ink while the rest stays light sketching. Chinnery often drew this way—catching moments fast, not fussing over details. See more drawings by George Chinnery.
The drawing features a dog rendered in ink alongside pencil sketches of goats, a standing figure, and a group at a food stall, all oriented at a ninety-degree angle to one another. It is part of an album containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange and includes 93 works by George Chinnery, who worked primarily in India and China during the early 19th century.
