16
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Indian livestock is a 16 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made a drawing of Indian sheep or goats in 1802. He focused on animal shapes and details like a goat’s hind leg. A quick sketch of an Indian woman appears on the sheet too. This sheet shows Chinnery practicing careful observation. He used Romantic lines and shading to capture living forms. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The drawing features studies of Indian livestock, including a detailed depiction of a right hind leg of a sheep or goat, alongside an outline sketch of an Indian woman. Part of a volume containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau, it was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange as part of an album of 93 drawings by George Chinnery.
