Untitled is a 1930 watercolor by Bertrand Locke, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a large, light-colored house with a red-tiled roof and white window frames. In front, there’s a flat, open courtyard with a few people walking or standing around. The house has a mix of brick and wood, and the courtyard is fenced in with small posts. A few smaller buildings peek out behind the main house, and the whole scene looks calm and orderly. The artist used soft, muted colors—mostly light blues, browns, and grays—with a focus on the building’s details. The people in the scene are small, almost like they’re part of the background. The painting feels quiet, with no big action or drama. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.

Bertrand Locke wore a beret every day, even in the rain, and kept a tiny brush tucked behind his ear like a pencil.
