The Deanery, Lich Street, Worcester

About this work

This painting shows a quiet street lined with old, narrow buildings. The houses have dark wood frames and big windows, some with shutters. A few people walk down the empty road, and a lamppost stands near the center. The colors are mostly muted browns and grays, with a light sky in the background. The artist signed it in the corner, noting it’s from 1940 in Worcester. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a soft, sketchy feel.
