Untitled is a 1882 watercolor by Gustave Doré, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a gentleman in a blue coat and top hat. He's dressed in formal attire, complete with white pantaloons and top boots. The gentleman also holds a white glove in his left hand. The details of his outfit and accessories are carefully drawn. This suggests the artist paid close attention to fashion and social status. To learn more about the artist's use of shading and contrast, look into the technique: chiaroscuro.
