Bergues: La Tour du marché

Richard Parkes Bonington

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a town square scene. A tall clock tower with a pointed roof and two smaller towers on either side stands in the background. The clock face is on the front of the tower, below two small windows on either side. The tower has a large body with a smaller section on top. The square has a horse-drawn cart in the foreground, covered with a large white cloth. A man is standing next to the cart on the left. People in old-fashioned clothing are standing on the cobblestone street. Buildings with steeply pitched roofs and ornate details flank the square on either side. The sky is cloudy. The artist's name is in the bottom-left corner, and another name is in the bottom-right corner.
