The robust architecture of this Continental street scene would have appealed to Knighton-Hammond and is the focus of the composition. The streetscape is made up with clever linear perspective setting the architecture in convincing pictorial space. The buildings and street are depicted in sunshine and shade, painted with effortless ease and gracefulness. The figures within the building gives a sense of scale and movement.
