Untitled is a 1860 paint by George Landseer, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet river scene with a small village nestled between hills. A lone boatman rows a flat-bottomed boat while another person sits inside, and a horse-drawn cart waits on the bank. In the distance, a stone bridge arches over the water, and snow-capped mountains rise behind the village. The brushstrokes are loose and bright, focusing on light and movement rather than sharp details. This style was new in the 1860s, blending everyday life with nature.

A river scene dominates the composition, featuring a boat in the foreground, a town positioned on the left, and distant mountains framing the background. Painted by George Landseer, the work reflects his practice as a portrait and landscape artist within an English family of painters. Landseer traveled to northern India to produce portraits and watercolor landscapes before returning to England in 1870. This sketch is part of a collection of 31 landscape and figure studies donated by his widow.
