The Butter-Cross, Winchester is a 1762 watercolor by Amelia Long, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet street scene with old buildings and a tall church tower on the left. A woman sits on a bench with a child, while another woman stands nearby. To the right, a covered walkway leads into a shop with wooden windows. People walk or chat, and a horse stands tied up. The artist used soft watercolors to show light and shadow, giving the scene a gentle feel. The buildings look weathered, with signs of age and use.
