19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Figures at a stove, and a pig is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The drawing depicts two figures bent over a stove alongside a pig, part of a volume containing 179 sheets of sketches made in Bengal and Macau. It was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album with 93 drawings by George Chinnery, who worked extensively in British India and later Macau. Chinnery, an English artist active from the late 18th to mid-19th century, documented diverse subjects including Western merchants, Chinese traders, and local workers. The work reflects his observational approach during travels across India and China.
