The Discovery of an East Window of All Saints’ Church, behind High Street, Bristol

Britische Grafik 1820–1830, 1821

The image shows a partially demolished building with a Gothic-style arch as a prominent feature. The structure is worn, with remaining walls defining the horizon and scaffolding framing the scene. The artwork features delicate brushstrokes conveying texture and detail, with a color palette of muted grays, off-white tones, and hints of pink. A wooden gate is partially open, a ladder leans against a wall, and three figures are near the gate. Signs on a fence read "48 WIN ST RU." The composition leads the viewer to observe architectural features and activity below.
