A South African Street Scene

Following the success of his exhibition of watercolours at the Royal Arcade Gallery, Bond Street, under the title From the Scheldt to the Danube, in March 1891, Brangwyn was invited to visit South Africa by Larkin's Japanese Gallery, Bond Street, and to hold an exhibition on his return. This painting is typical of Brangwyn's South African series, as it showcases the artist's muted palette, square brush technique and impressionistic style.
