Untitled is a 1750 by George Wheeler, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a person standing sideways, holding a small tool with a curved arm and a handle. They’re dressed in a long, striped skirt and a loose jacket with buttons down the front. Their hair is pulled back under a cap, and they’re wearing simple shoes. The tool looks like a kind of clamp or brace, which might have been used for a specific job. The drawing is loose and sketchy, not super detailed. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up shapes with lines.
The drawing depicts a sculpture of a boy dressed in scholarly attire, holding mathematical instruments and a sheet of paper.
