Two studies of a cow seen from behind is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, depicting cattle, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew two quick studies of a cow from behind. The artist captured the same animal twice, its head turned right in both sketches. The drawings show how he varied line and shading just enough to study its shape and posture. Done in 1825, these tiny ink studies feel fresh and direct. They’re not fancy portraits—just a quick look at a cow’s rear end and tail. Next, check out more drawings by George Chinnery.
