About this work

George Chinnery drew two quiet studies of a sleeping dog in 1840. One sheet shows the pup stretched out with its front legs straight ahead. This wasn’t a fancy pose—just a dog at rest, sketched in ink. Chinnery worked a lot in India and China, but this sheet stayed with him. It’s one of the small everyday subjects he liked to capture. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
