Physical Description
The south flank of a church is seen through the branches of leafless trees. A central tower over the entrance dominates the upper portion of the composition. In the foreground, a curving rail indicates a path leading up to the side of the building; seated just to the left of the church are several people seated on a park bench.
Subject Matter
Whistler had proposed a series of lithographs of London churches but only St. Anne's and St. Giles-in-the-Fields were realized. Located in Soho, St. Giles was built by Henry Flitcroft between 1731-1733.
