Untitled is a 1880 by Foreman Day, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a sketch of a round ceiling design. It has bright colors—reds, golds, and greens—with lots of circles and flowers. The center looks like a big sunburst with lines radiating out. Around it, smaller shapes and patterns fill the space. The drawing is labeled as a design for a town hall. The artist signed it in 1880. It’s not a finished painting but a plan for how something might look. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create shading.
