Three studies of cows is a 1847 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting cattle, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made this quick drawing in just four days. It’s three separate sketches of cows, each one showing a different angle. The first cow faces right, the second faces left, and the third only shows the head and shoulders. This was done in 1847, around the time of the Romantic movement. Chinnery drew it carefully, but the work feels loose and lively. Next, check out more works by George Chinnery.
