About this work

This sketch shows a quiet street lined with old buildings. The houses have steep roofs, some with small towers and chimneys. People walk along the sidewalk, and a few horse-drawn carriages are parked down the road. The street looks clean and empty, with no cars in sight. The artist signed it "Sheet Street, Windsor" in July 1940. The buildings have a mix of brick and stone, with large windows and some signs above the doors. The whole scene feels calm, like a moment frozen in time. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
