About this work

George Chinnery drew this in 1825. It’s a sheet of sketches showing three goats lying side by side. Next to them stands a boatwoman lifting a child to her shoulder. This sheet is part of Chinnery’s habit of quick, on-the-spot drawings. He often worked in India and China, where he recorded daily life like this. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
