Untitled is a 1840 paint by Richard Doyle, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a young woman in a fairy-filled forest. Her dress is green, like the mossy trees. Around her, tiny elves watch with sharp eyes. Richard Doyle loved fairy tales but showed their dark side. Here, the fairies look playful but feel dangerous. Their small hands hide sharp sticks. This artist drew what others ignored.

A watercolour by Richard Doyle depicts a group of twelve male elves concealed behind a large tree in a wooded setting, dressed in blue-grey trousers, hooded tunics, and red caps, observing a young woman in a mauve dress as she walks and smells a flower from a basket on her left arm.
