From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Three figures with a parasol, and a cow is a 14 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made a drawing called *Three figures with a parasol, and a cow*. It shows two Macanese women walking with a servant holding a parasol and a cow following behind. The artist worked in China during the 1800s. This sketch mixes everyday life with animals in a loose, quick style. The parasol frames the women’s faces while the cow adds a quiet detail. The date spans seven years, suggesting it was worked on and off. Look up George Chinnery next.
The sketch depicts two Macanese women accompanied by a servant holding a parasol, alongside a drawing of a cow viewed from behind, with inscriptions dated between 1843 and 1850. It was part of an album of 93 drawings by George Chinnery, bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange. Chinnery, a British artist born in 1774, worked in India before settling in Macau in 1825, where he remained until his death in 1852.
