About this work

The painting shows a large, gray building with a row of flags in front of it. The flags are white with red crosses, and they're hanging from poles along the front of the building. The building has a few windows and a dome on top. The building looks old and important, and the flags give it a sense of ceremony or celebration. The painting is done in watercolor, which gives it a soft, delicate look. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
