Untitled is a 1899 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman standing still, balancing a copper water jug on her head. She wears a dark, flowing sari with a red undershirt peeking out, and her bare feet rest on a plain ground. The watercolor is soft, with light shading to show her posture and the cloth’s drape. The label says this is a study of a Bombay woman, painted in 1899 by a student at the Bombay School of Art. The artist focused on everyday life, not idealized poses. Next, look up Realism to see how artists like this one captured ordinary moments.
An untitled work from 1899 is attributed to the Indian artist Rao Bahadur Mahadev Vishwanath Dhurandhar, who trained at the J J School of Art in Bombay under John Griffiths. The painting was later acquired from Corrie Chapman Esq., with provenance documented in museum records as part of a 2023 research project.
