George Chinnery (1774–1852) was a British artist known for his portraits and landscapes. Born in London, he studied at the Royal Academy and exhibited his works there.

Thatched Dwellings with Goat, Bengal captures a tranquil rural scene from early 19th-century India. Rendered in oil on canvas, the painting depicts modest thatched huts nestled in a quiet landscape, with a solitary goat adding life and charm to the composition. Chinnery’s brushwork is delicate yet expressive, evoking the warmth of Bengal’s countryside. The muted palette and soft lighting lend a nostalgic tone, reflecting his Romantic sensibilities. As one of the few Western artists documenting colonial India’s everyday life, Chinnery’s work offers a rare glimpse into local architecture and pastoral simplicity, blending documentary realism with poetic atmosphere.
