Untitled is a 1770 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a lively scene under a small pavilion. A group of people in bright colors—yellows, reds, and blues—are dancing and playing drums. One man in blue and gold stands out, holding a stick while others move around him. Some women wear long skirts and headscarves, and a few men play instruments or pour something from a pot. The colors are bold and flat, with no deep shadows. The people look busy, but their faces stay calm. The background is simple, keeping focus on the action below.

The painting depicts Krishna and Radha celebrating Holi, throwing colored powder at one another, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper. Created in 1770 by an unknown artist, it is part of a set of works acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1954 from Maggs Bros. for £150.
