George Chinnery made these quick, careful drawings of a dog in 1843. They’re done in simple pencil on paper. You can see how he focused on the dog’s shape and texture. This wasn’t just one drawing. The museum holds three separate sheets plus one study of a paw. Chinnery often sketched animals to practice movement and form. Look up another artist who drew animals in Romanticism.
