About the piece
Created around 1742 by the renowned British topographical painter Samuel Scott, this work captures a transformative era in London's architectural history. The scene meticulously details the wooden centering used to build the arches of the new Westminster Bridge, while the Gothic towers of Westminster Abbey rise above the riverbank, all rendered in the soft, atmospheric light characteristic of the era.
