This painting shows a quiet street in a European town. The buildings are old, with slanted roofs and small windows. Some roofs are covered in tiles, others in thatch. In the background, two church spires rise above the rooftops, one with a dark, pointed top. The artist used soft watercolors to show light and shadow. The colors are muted, with blues and grays blending together. The street looks empty, with no people or movement. Next, look up Bonington, Richard Parkes to see more of his work.
