Untitled is a 1842 by Edward Palmer, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a soldier in a tall hat leading a horse by its bridle. Another soldier rides a horse in the background, both on a grassy field. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried drawing. The artist used shading to give the scene depth, making the soldiers and horses stand out against the lighter background. This was a common way to draw attention to certain parts of a picture. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
