Battersea Town Hall

Watercolour by Albert Warren, depicting Battersea Town Hall. 1945.

The watercolour depict a detailed architectural view of a grand building, the former Battersea Council Town Hall. The building is the central focus with its large multistorey structure with a prominent central tower and a symmetrical façade.The colour scheme is fairly muted, with a focus on browns, greys and a touch of red. There is a play of shadows in the building surfaces, and is also projecting its shadow in nearby buildings. The surrounding area, including some human figures are treated at accessories, and the y are almost transparent.The bottom right corner bears the signature ALBERT WARREN.
