About the piece
This 1798 oil painting by Thomas Malton offers a sophisticated view of High Street, Oxford. The composition highlights the grandeur of the university's classical architecture, including the Queen's College gateway and the distant spire of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin. Figures in period attire and a horse-drawn carriage ground the scene in its historical moment, rendered with the precise draftsmanship for which Malton was known.
