Untitled is a 1845 by William Delamotte, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a simple two-story building with a sloped roof. The front has a small porch with a door and a set of windows above it. A small lantern-like structure sits on the roof, and the walls are drawn with light, quick lines. The drawing uses only pencil, with no color—just varying line thickness to show light and shadow. It looks like the artist was studying how light hits buildings. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
William Delamotte spent years sketching the same Gothic ruins in Oxfordshire until the crumbling arches started feeling like old friends.
