1785
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1785 watercolor by Julius Caesar Ibbetson, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows cows resting and grazing by a rocky stream. Some animals sit on a grassy bank, while others stand near the water. The colors are soft—mostly browns, greens, and pale blues—with quick brushstrokes. The artist used light washes to keep it loose and sketchy, like a quick note of nature. This style fits a time when artists focused on feelings over perfect details. Next, check out Romanticism to see how this painting’s mood connects to the movement.
