12
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Two drawings of cattle surrounding a bullock cart is a 12 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew two studies of humped cattle around a bullock cart in 1818. The sheets show the same scene upside-down on one page. It’s a quick, careful sketch—not a finished painting. The drawings capture how the animals stand close to the cart. The artist used simple lines, no color, just the shapes of bodies and wheels. Next stop: look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Two drawings by George Chinnery depict humped cattle arranged around a two-wheeled bullock cart, one sheet inverted relative to the other. The works are part of a volume containing 179 sheets of drawings made in Bengal and Macau. The album was bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange and originally included 93 drawings by Chinnery.
