About this work

This sketch shows a grand building with tall columns and arched windows. The paint is loose and sketchy, with quick strokes for the dome and details like the clock face. A figure stands on the roof, and the sky is lightly washed in pale blue. The artist signed it in 1940, calling it *The Guildhall, Worcester*. The watercolor feels quick—like a study, not a finished work. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s sketches.
