North Parade, Bath is a 1775 watercolor by Malton, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a street scene with a large, multi-story building on the left and a smaller structure on the right. In the foreground, people are walking, including a man with a dog and a woman in a long dress. The sky is light blue with clouds. The scene appears to be set in a European city, possibly in the 18th century, given the style of the buildings and clothing. The artist's use of watercolor creates a soft, dreamy quality. This painting is reminiscent of the work of other artists associated with the Romanticism movement.
