Untitled is a 1725 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a strange, crowded scene with a mix of animals and people. A winged figure in a red coat sits on a throne-like platform, holding a small object. Around them, a pig, a deer, and a cat ride like horses, while tiny humans in bright clothes cling to them. The background is a flat green landscape with a distant sky. The animals and people seem to blend together in odd ways, like a dream. This style of mixing fantasy with reality was common in some older art. Look up Baroque to see more art like this.
An opaque watercolor painting on paper from 1725 depicts a winged European figure with a nimbus riding a composite camel assembled from parts of other animals and human figures, positioned within a box attached to the creature's back as it traverses a minimally detailed landscape.
