About this work

George Chinnery made three quick sketches of a humped cattle in April 1817. He used simple lines to study the animal’s shape and stance. The drawings sit in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum today. They’re not fancy scenes. These are plain studies—three different views of one Indian cow or ox. Chinnery kept his marks loose and direct, catching the animal’s solid frame without extra detail.
