1867
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Street behind the town hall, Antwerp is a 1867 by Somers Clarke, a Impressionism work, depicting Bruges, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a row of tall, narrow buildings packed closely together. The lines are light and precise, focusing on the windows, doors, and rooflines. A small street runs between them, with a few faint figures walking along the pavement. The artist labeled it "Street behind the town hall, Antwerp," but the buildings look more like those in Bruges. The drawing uses simple lines to show depth and texture without much shading. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
