Rue du gros-horloge, Rouen

Richard Parkes Bonington

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a street scene viewed from a slightly elevated angle. The architecture consists of tall, intricately adorned buildings lining both sides of the street. In the distance, a clock tower and a domed structure are visible. The scene captures architectural details and a crowd of people on the street. The color palette is predominantly grayish-brown, giving the impression of an etching or a detailed drawing. People in period attire, carts, and a dog populate the street. The scene extends into the distance towards the archway beneath the clock tower.
