About this work

George Chinnery drew this in 1836. It’s three close-up sketches of a woman in a dress with wide shoulder pieces holding a small child on a sofa. All three drawings look almost the same. The artist kept changing tiny lines instead of the big shapes. That’s why he made three studies right next to each other. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
