| Giuseppe de Nittis, Piccadilly, 1875 |
A somewhat belated post with an image of one of the paintings in Tate Britain's recent exhibition IMPRESSIONISTS IN LONDON which on the pavement to the left shows an elderly Indian street sweeper wearing a red turban, alongside a policeman. Possibly included on account of the turban, the wintry street scene wanting in colour, but also an authentic glimpse of mid- to late-Victorian London.
It is one of a series showing London streets commissioned by banker Kaye Knowles.
