介绍（中）	在对繁华的伦敦街道的生动渲染中，Girtin将生动的细节与松散的概括性笔触段落相结合。这件作品处于艺术家悲惨短暂的职业生涯的中点，在他作为地形水彩画家的早期成就和未来精湛的抽象风景之间取得了平衡。在户外工作，在他居住的街道上，这位二十岁的艺术家用石墨透视。然后，他在灰色水洗中添加阴影，最后应用颜色层，以及图形和细节。前景的特点是从左边的深阴影到右边在傍晚阳光下发光的红砖外墙的戏剧性转变。雷恩宏伟的圆顶高耸入云，是艺术家渴望的崇高的宏伟古典体现。马车、马匹、扫街工、好奇的狗、点灯人和散步的行人代表了吉尔廷天才成长的本土风景如画。
介绍（英）	In this vibrant rendering of a bustling London street, Girtin combines lively detail with loose passages of generalized brushwork. The work stands at the midpoint of the artist's tragically short career, balanced between his early achievements as a topographical watercolorist and the masterly abstracted landscapes to come. Working outdoors, in the street where he lived, the twenty-year old artist laid in the perspective in graphite. He then added shadows in gray wash, and finally applied layers of color, together with the figures and details. The foreground is characterized by a dramatic shift from deep shadow, at left, to red brick facades glowing in the late afternoon sun, at right. Wren's magnificent dome soars above all, a grand classical embodiment of the sublimity toward which the artist aspired. The carts, horses, street-sweeper, inquisitive dog, little lamplighter, and strolling pedestrians represent the native picturesque out of which Girtin's genius grew.
