Untitled is a 1850 watercolor by John Sell Cotman, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet riverbank scene with a small boat carrying two people. On shore, a lone figure stands near a fence, while a few trees—some leafy, others bare—frame the view. The colors are soft and earthy, with muted greens, browns, and a touch of blue in the sky. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a natural, unfinished feel. This style was common in watercolor work of the time. Look up Cotman, John Sell to see more of his landscapes.
