St. Paul's Cathedral from Fleet Street

The etching depicts a bustling city street scene with people walking along a cobblestone road while a horse-drawn carriage and an early double-decker bus move through the area, showcasing the urban life of a bygone era against the backdrop of a grand, domed cathedral with intricate architectural details, adding a sense of both history and majesty to the scene. Tall buildings line the street, their windows reflecting the diffused light of the overcast sky, creating a harmonious interplay between light and shadow. Subtle hues of brown, gray, and blue dominate the palette, contributing to the painting’s nostalgic and atmospheric quality.
