About the piece
Painted around 1775 by William Marlow, this oil on canvas depicts Whitehall, the heart of London's administrative district. The work masterfully balances the imposing presence of classical architecture with the lively, everyday activities of figures, horses, and carriages on the cobblestone street below, all set beneath an expansive, soft English sky.
