This painting shows a small butcher shop with a wooden counter and green columns. A baby carriage sits under the awning, and a sign reads "F.G. Bellingham Butcher." The building has a simple roof with chimneys, and other houses peek out around it. The artist painted the shop’s details carefully, like the phone number on the wall and the meat hanging inside. The colors are soft, with muted greens, browns, and whites. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
