Untitled is a 1750 by Dirk Verrijk, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing depicts a serene village scene, with a dirt road stretching into the distance. On the left, a church stands tall, its steeple reaching for the sky. Several buildings line the road, surrounded by trees and lush greenery. People are scattered throughout the scene, some standing in front of the buildings or walking along the road. In the background, a cloudy sky sets the tone for a peaceful day. The artist's use of cross-hatching and stippling techniques adds depth and texture to the drawing, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the scene.

Two sheets of drawings were acquired from dealer Edwin Parsons by the museum on 20 February 1885 for £3. 15s. 0d., each marked with the number 1958 in red ink on the reverse.
