This painting shows a busy city square with bare trees in the foreground. Buildings line the background, some with domes and signs. People and horses are scattered around, and there’s a fountain in the middle. The colors are mostly muted, with some bright spots like the golden dome. The artist painted this in the early 1920s, capturing a moment of daily life in London. The loose brushstrokes give it a lively, sketch-like feel.
