Untitled is a 1850 watercolor by Alexander Dyce, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows eight butterflies pinned to a light background. Their wings are bright—yellow, orange, and black with white spots. Some have delicate patterns, while others look bold and dark. They’re arranged loosely, not in a perfect line. The artist used watercolor to capture each butterfly’s details carefully. The colors are soft but clear, making the wings look almost real.
