A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts a sandy plaza with people with light skin tones. In the foreground center, a man in a blue coat sketches while children sit nearby. Horse-drawn carts traverse the middle ground. Behind them, the white stone towers of the Tower of London rise against a muted sky, with ship masts to the right. An inscription is in the lower left. The scene is rendered in hazy, muted tones.
