View from the British Museum portico towards Great Russell Street. London, 1950.

From the portico of the British Museum in London, 1950, the view extends towards Great Russell Street. Framed by the dark bases of two massive columns, a solitary woman walks across the wet, reflective courtyard. Seen from behind, her long hair is caught in the wind as she moves across the rain-slicked pavement, which mirrors the overcast sky and the grand, classical architecture in the distance. Other pedestrians and a vintage car are visible across the hazy open space.
