Untitled is a 1774 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in old-fashioned clothes. He’s wearing a wide-brimmed black hat, a bright red jacket with dark trim, and white stockings over brown shoes. His right hand points outward, while his left rests on his hip. The background is plain and light-colored, with no extra details. The red jacket has a slightly faded look, like it’s been handled a lot. The man’s pose is stiff, almost like a posed portrait. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
The artwork is an opaque watercolour painting on paper from 1774, depicting a European seaman dressed in a red uniform jacket, with his hair styled in a pig tail secured beneath a black wide-brimmed hat.
