Untitled is a 1853 by Leech, a Impressionism work, depicting Carriage, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This image shows a pencil drawing of a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage is drawn from the back, with two horses in the foreground and a man standing on the carriage. A dog is seen running alongside the carriage. The background is a city street with buildings and people walking around. The drawing is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the horses' muscles and the carriage's structure. The artist has used shading to create depth and dimension in the image. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialize in Impressionism.
A drawing by Leech from 1853 served as a humorous illustration for the magazine Punch.
