From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Two drawings of fishermen is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting Fishing, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made these two drawings of fishermen in 1825. They show men with fishing rods and baskets, standing in shallow water. The artist sketched them in graphite, probably while watching real fishermen at work. Romanticism often highlights everyday life and nature. These simple scenes feel direct and honest, not posed or fancy. Next time you’re in London, visit the Victoria and Albert Museum to see these drawings in person.
