Untitled is a work by Philip Speakman Webb, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a small ink and wash drawing on tracing paper. It shows a fireplace with a curved grate, and the outside is shaded orange to look like copper. The artist added a note in the corner. It says the drawing is scaled at one and a half inches to the foot. Look up Webb’s work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A small drawing in ink and wash on tracing paper depicts a small fireplace with a curved grate. The fireplace’s exterior is rendered in yellow and orange wash, possibly indicating copper. The sheet bears an inscription in the lower right corner reading “1 1/2 inch scale.” The work is part of a set of 278 designs and drawings formerly held in the collection of architect and architectural historian John Brandon-Jones.

Philip Webb had a habit of sketching birds while riding the train—tiny, precise pencil marks tucked into the corners of his notepads.
