This picture shows a busy river scene with buildings on the water. The buildings look old and crumbling. In the background, you can see more structures and a church tower. The sky is light, and the water is calm. This is a watercolor drawing of London Bridge being torn down. The artist focused on the messy, real-life side of change. Look up George Pyne to see more of his work.
