About this work

George Chinnery drew two pigs and a dog in 1825. It’s a quick study, not a big painting. The dog sits while the pigs stand in different views. The artist used simple lines to show shape and mood. One pig turns at a right angle so you see its side and front. The dog looks calm and solid. Try looking up cross-hatching next.
