Artist, British, 1874 - 1943

The image is viewed from a slightly raised angle. The horizon is unclear, and there are no elements resting on it. The sketch-like style features delicate pencil strokes creating a sense of motion and softness. The color palette is monochrome with shades of gray and black. The detailed architectural elements show intricate Gothic details and spires. Spun lines suggest figures and street activity to the right.
