About the piece

Painted in 1825 by David Hodgson, this work offers a window into early 19th-century English life. The composition balances the detailed timber-framed structures of Norwich with a bustling community scene, featuring market-goers, vendors, and horse-drawn carts set against the silhouette of a distant cathedral. As a member of the Norwich School of painters, Hodgson's focus on local topography and everyday life is captured here with masterful light and color.
