Broad Street, Aberdeen is a 1824 watercolor by William Purser, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a city street with tall buildings on either side. The street is wet and reflects the sky. People are walking, riding horses, or standing in groups. A horse and carriage are in the middle of the street. The buildings are made of stone and have many windows. Some people are looking out of the windows. The sky is cloudy and grey. The painting is done in watercolour, which gives it a soft, dreamy look. The artist, William Purser, was part of the Romanticism movement.
