From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Two pigs feeding is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting Sus Scrofa, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew two pigs feeding at a trough. It’s a simple scene, but the date range shows he worked on it over years. The drawing fits the Romanticism style, which often focused on nature and animals. This wasn’t just a quick sketch—it was carefully made with cross-hatching and stippling. Those techniques give texture to the pigs’ rough skin and the trough’s wood. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this drawing in person.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts two pigs feeding from a circular trough and is part of a volume containing 93 sheets of sketches made in Macau and its vicinity.
