Description: | This is an important watercolour view by David Cox in his early style. Thin watercolour washes in shades of grey have been added to the careful pencil outline of Westminster Cathedral, London. Its impressive architecture is contrasted with the jumble of old houses in the foreground, which are painted in warmer yellow and brown hues. Bright sunlight and strong shadows emphasise the rather flat patterning of the shapes of the buildings. On the left, Cox has washed in the grey shape of a house with surprising freedom.
