A Series of Ancient Buildings and Rural Cottages in the North of England: At York, Street beside Cloister Wall

Samuel Prout

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a street scene in York. The scene features a large stone building with a steeply pitched roof on the left, and a woman standing on a cobblestone street to the right. Behind the woman is a long, low building with a tiled roof and several arches. In the background, a tall church steeple rises into the sky. The buildings appear to be old and made of stone or brick. The woman wears a long dress and a shawl. The sky above is blank and featureless. The image is framed by a thin border.
