This painting shows a busy square with a tall, ornate tower at the center. People walk, sit, and chat under makeshift stalls and awnings. The tower has pointed arches and intricate details, while buildings with large windows line the sides. The sky is soft with light clouds, and the ground looks dusty. The artist focused on everyday life, blending bright colors with loose brushstrokes. The tower is likely the Town Hall in Bruges, a real city in Belgium. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
