Untitled is a 1899 watercolor by Herbert Sharp, a Impressionism work, depicting Jug, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a painted jug with a white body and a band of bright floral designs. The flowers are mostly blue and orange, with green leaves and swirling vines. The background is a plain light green, and the jug’s rim and base have simple blue and white patterns. The artist signed the corner with their name and the year 1899. The jug looks like a real object, not just decoration—it’s solid and three-dimensional on the page. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more objects like this.
A full-scale reproduction of a 16th-century Turkish glazed earthenware mug, this piece features painted decoration with long serrated leaves and floral sprays including lilies.

Herbert Sharp painted quiet watercolours in the late 1800s, often leaving the titles blank on the page.
