About the piece
Painted around 1750 by Joseph Nickolls, this oil on canvas provides a fascinating window into mid-18th century London life. The composition is anchored by the equestrian statue of King Charles I, with the monumental Northumberland House visible in the background and various period figures, horses, and carriages animating the public square.
