The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, 16 October 1834
The painting depicts a river with a bridge spanning it. The riverbank on the left side has trees and people standing. A boat is on the right side of the river. In the background, there are buildings engulfed in flames and smoke, with the fire appearing to be intense on the left side. The sky is filled with smoke and clouds, and the overall atmosphere suggests a scene of destruction and chaos. The color palette is dominated by shades of brown, orange, and gray.
