Untitled is a 15 by Grevedon, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a woman in a dress with puffy sleeves and a belt around her waist. She has dark hair styled in a fancy updo with a bow on top. The background is plain, with some faint brown spots scattered around. The woman's dress has lace trim around the top and a small bow at the front of her belt. Her hair is curled and pinned up, with a few loose strands framing her face. She's wearing earrings and looking straight ahead.

A half-length portrait depicts a female figure facing forward with her gaze directed to the right. She wears an early 1830s fashion ensemble consisting of a straight-cut dress with a deep frill edged in flowers, double puffed sleeves, and a high, wide belt fastened with a central buckle. Her hair is styled elaborately, adorned with bows in opaque and transparent fabrics and small flowers at the center. The lithograph, produced by Motte after Grevedon, is mounted on light card and includes an inscription by Marie Taglioni to M. Pilatte, dated January 1863.

Pierre Louis Grevedon had a habit of slipping into the back rows at Paris salons, sketching portraits on scraps of paper while the crowd buzzed in front.
