Untitled is a 1784 watercolor by Thomas Rowlandson, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a rowdy street scene with five people and a dog. A woman in a striped dress holds a child’s hand while pointing at a table where three men sit drinking. One man leans on the table, another holds a glass, and the third slumps in his chair. A dog rests under the table, and a fourth man stands nearby with a fan. The background has a building with a sign and a cloudy sky. The artist used quick, loose lines to show movement and humor. The scene looks lively but a little messy, like a snapshot of everyday life. Next, check out Rowlandson, Thomas for more of his playful drawings.
