Untitled is a 1850 by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a two-story building labeled "Chalk Farm Tavern." The front has large windows and a covered porch where people sit. A horse-drawn carriage is parked near the entrance, and a few figures walk or stand around. Trees frame the scene, and the ground looks dusty. The text below says this spot was once part of the White House site. The simple lines and shading give it a rough, quick feel. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
