Westminster Bridge

About this work

This sketch shows a busy London scene with a crowd near Westminster Bridge. People are walking, riding in carriages, and gathering around a horse-drawn vehicle. The tall clock tower stands out in the middle, and ships are docked along the river. The edges of the image are filled with smaller sketches of boats and buildings. The artist used a mix of dark and light lines to create depth, focusing on the crowd and the bridge. The rough texture of the paper and ink adds to the busy, lively feel.
