1825
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
"Study for Undine" is a 1825 by Daniel Maclise, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a woman riding a horse. The horse looks strong and is moving fast. The woman’s dress blows in the wind, and her hair is loose. The background has quick, messy lines for trees and bushes. The artist used lots of thin, crisscrossed lines to fill in shadows and shapes. This makes the drawing look textured, almost like fabric. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
A pencil drawing titled *Study for Undine* by Daniel Maclise depicts a battle scene featuring figures and horses. It is part of a larger collection of 390 drawings and sketches housed in a pillar stand of thirty frames, which includes works in pencil, pen and ink, and color by Maclise and six other artists. The collection also contains portraits of notable literary and public figures, such as Edward Bulwer-Lytton and Benjamin Disraeli.
