Untitled is a 1826 by Unknown, depicting windmill, held at Rijksmuseum.
A small, worn sheet shows a woman in a plain cap and shawl, her face half in shadow. No one knows who drew it or what it was for. It lived for years in a big folder called the Van Eck Atlas—hundreds of loose sketches sorted by neighborhood. The quiet lines feel like a quick note, not a finished work. To see more anonymous sketches like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
