Untitled is a 1918 watercolor by John Hassall, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a man standing outdoors, accompanied by two small dogs at his feet. He is dressed in a blue jacket with gold buttons, a brown shirt, and white pants, and wears a blue hat. The man holds a white cane in his right hand and has a medal hanging from his jacket. In the background, there are trees and hills under a dark blue sky. The man's attire and the medal suggest that he may be a military officer or have some other official status. The presence of the dogs adds a sense of companionship to the scene. The artist's use of watercolor creates a soft, dreamy quality to the painting. To learn more about the artist's techniques, you can explore the work of Hassall, John (RI, RWA).
