Two turbaned horsemen is a 16 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery made this quick drawing of two riders in turbans. They sit on horses, each holding a spear and shield. It’s a study, not a finished painting. He drew this in 1825, part of a larger trip. Sketchbooks like this one show how artists recorded what they saw on the road. Look up the technique called cross-hatching to see how shading works in drawings like this one.
