About this work

This watercolour shows a quiet park near Colchester’s North Station. The city’s usual hustle feels far away. Just a few people walk past leafy trees and soft grass. It’s unusual for Bayes. Most of his Colchester scenes are busy streets. Here, the park steals the show while rooftops peek at the horizon. Check out more watercolours at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
