Three goats is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a drawing by George Chinnery. It shows three goats on sloping ground with a view of a bay. The goats are the main focus, outlined simply against the landscape. The artist dated the work precisely—from September 29, 1825 to May 30, 1852. That’s a long span for a single drawing, but it fits how Romantic artists often took time to capture nature’s moods. If you like this kind of detailed observation in art, look up cross-hatching.
