About the piece

Painted around 1825 by David Hodgson, a prominent member of the Norwich School, this work offers a charming window into 19th-century English commerce. The composition skillfully balances the busy activity of the market crowd with the imposing architectural heritage of the city, including the prominent spire of St. Peter Mancroft, all bathed in a warm, atmospheric light.
