Untitled is a 28 by Edward William Godwin, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a hand-drawn floor plan with small, neat rooms outlined in pencil. The lines are precise, showing walls, doors, and windows with measurements written in the corners. There’s also a lot of handwritten notes about materials and details like "ash floors" and "studios." The drawing looks like it’s from 1879, and the notes suggest it’s for a house with specific rooms like a studio. The artist used simple lines and shading to mark details.

Three drawings by Edward William Godwin depict a cupboard, a storage enclosure, and a set of nested drawers. The artist noted that the first versions of these designs, registered as E.533, 556-1963, were rejected by the Board of Works, while the revised designs, E.554, 555-1963, were approved. One of the rejected designs, E.555-1963, was later reproduced by C. P. Edwards in *The British Architect*. Another drawing in the set presents a design for a house and studio intended for artist Frank Miles in Tite Street, Chelsea.
