W24 Cathy Barry ARTDES 174 Watercolor for Non-Majors

A large crowd of men—almost all of whom wear top hats—women, and children congregate in an urban setting. In the left foreground a woman in a blue dress and an ornate hat passes the viewer. To her left a hobbled man holds a sign with a few legible words amongst squiggles; they read, "General / BOOTH / City Hall". Part of a bridled horse is seen at the extreme right side of the composition. Behind the crowd, whose clothing is heightened with an array of pastel watercolors, a colonnade is visible; at the left corner of the building the colonnade recedes backwards, and is mirrored by a row of receding street lamps. <br />
Inscribed on left, in image, in pen: "Royal Exchange Place" and below this, signed in pencil, "Muirhead Bone."

The watercolor depicts an arched bridge over a waterfall that cuts through rocky mountainous terrain dotted with evergreens. The waterfall flows down a short ways into a low, wide river. On the river's left bank are two men seen in silhouette. Beyond the bridge in the background distant mountains rise amid forests, and are rendered with an increasingly lighter technique to indicate aerial perspective and also perhaps mist or fog.
