Untitled is a 1744 by Corrado Giaquinto, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two figures in an outdoor setting. One person sits on a low wall, holding a basket of flowers, while another stands nearby, carrying a bundle. The background has loose, quick lines that suggest trees and bushes, but it’s not detailed. The whole drawing is light and sketchy, almost like a quick study. The artist used thin, layered lines to build up shapes and shadows. It looks like they might have used a technique called *stippling*—tiny dots to create shading.
