Untitled is a 1845 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a man leading a horse, a woman standing nearby, and two dogs in front of a crumbling stone archway. The lines are rough and quick, with lots of shading made by crisscrossed marks. The scene looks like a sketchy, unfinished moment in a courtyard or old courtyard. The artist used a technique called *cross-hatching*—tiny lines stacked on top of each other—to create shadows and texture. It gives the drawing a scratchy, almost urgent feel. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more sketches like this.
