Rowe's picture was painted prior to Pont Street's extension west of Sloane Street in 1878. The original shorter incarnation ran east from Cadogan Square to the Wesbourne river, and probably derived its name from the bridge linking it to fashionable Belgravia in Greenwood's map of 1827. It was built in 1805.
George Rowe moved to Fitzroy Square in 1844, having previously divided his time between his native Woodbridge and the Stamford Street studio he had once shared with artist Thomas Churchyard (1798-1865). He exhibited both London views and Suffolk landscapes throughout his life, showing at the Royal Academy from 1830-1854, and at the British Institution 1846-1862. Upon his death the Ipswich Journal applauded the 'high degree of excellency in his art'.
