L'Abbaye St. Amand, Rouen

Thomas Shotter Boys

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a cityscape with buildings rising upwards. The brushstrokes are fine and detailed, capturing architectural features and figures. The color palette is soft and muted with earthy tones dominating. A group of people stand close by, some pigeons peck at the ground, and a stairway leads to a door with handcarts nearby. In the distance, more buildings and figures are visible, along with birds flying in the sky. The sky is pale blue with patches of cloud.
