The Victoria Clock Tower London

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a busy street scene with a focus on Big Ben, the clock tower to the left. The horizon is suggested by the street and buildings. The painting has soft brushstrokes creating a misty atmosphere. The color palette is mainly shades of gray, with light contrasts between the sky, street, and figures. The street is filled with carriages, pedestrians, and street lamps that blend into the urban scene.
