The School Walk

Britische Grafik 1839–1850,

The image shows a street view with an old building on the left. The horizon is suggested by rooftops of buildings in the distance. Soft and textured brushstrokes create an impressionistic effect. Details are notably seen in the windows and roof. The color palette is warm with beige, light browns, red chimney bricks, and dark shadows. The sky is a pale blue. In front of the building, a group of figures, likely young girls with a woman, can be seen.
