Untitled is a 1850 watercolor by Bertram Potter, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two birds, one on the left and a fainter one on the right. The bird on the left is dark with a long, pointed beak and a short tail. It's standing on its legs. The bird on the right is lighter and less detailed, but you can see its beak and legs too. Both birds are painted in watercolors, which gives them a soft look. The background of the painting is a light color, which helps the birds stand out. If you like this kind of art, you might also want to look at the work of Potter, Bertram.
The artwork consists of studies of a rook and an unfinished depiction of a juvenile rook, rendered in watercolor. It was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest, which includes a collection of works and materials related to Beatrix Potter and her family.
