Marchioness of Waterford Louisa Anne
1833
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1833 by Marchioness of Waterford Louisa Anne, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a horse rearing up on its hind legs. The rider leans forward, gripping the reins tightly with one hand while holding a whip in the other. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading on the horse’s body and legs. The drawing looks like it was made fast, almost like a quick study. The horse’s movement feels wild and full of energy. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
The drawing depicts a dog standing upright on its hind legs while holding and smoking a pipe, with a sketch of a face on the reverse side. It is part of an album containing 81 pages of sketches and studies, featuring cream, buff, and brown wove paper bound in marbled paper-covered boards with quarter leather. Some pages are missing, and one has been cut. The album is catalogued under museum numbers E.816-1987 to E.945-1987.
