St Martin’s in the Field is in the north-east corner of Trafalgar Square. The emblematic neoclassical architecture was to the design of James Gibbs. The white Portland stone façade has been painted in a very precise yet Impressionistic manner. The fountain gives the picture a vaporous atmosphere. The figures gathered nearby are in conversation and give movement and scale to the composition.
