George Chinnery drew two quick studies of a horse’s head in 1840. He worked in pencil, focusing on the curve of the neck and the tension of the reins. The sheets show the same horse twice, one time with a hand holding the leather close to the mouth. This tiny two-drawing set is a slice of Romanticism. Chinnery liked horses and sketched them often while traveling in India and China. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the originals.
