Untitled is a 1837 watercolor by William Henry Hunt, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a round basket filled with a mix of plums and pears. The plums are mostly dark purple with a few dusted in white, while the pears are yellow with some green spots. The basket sits on a rough, earthy surface with a few scattered leaves and tiny flowers. The artist paid close attention to the texture of each fruit, making them look almost real. The background inside the basket looks like moss or dried grass, adding a natural feel. Check out the artist’s other work to see how he painted details like this—William Henry Hunt.
