A mid-20th-century expressive cityscape by the British artist Ben Maile, depicting a composite view of iconic London landmarks. The montage composition includes Nelson’s Column, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the Palace of Westminster with Big Ben, punctuated by red double-decker buses in the foreground. The work is executed in a graphic, atmospheric style on a textured support, likely canvas board. The piece is housed in a white-painted wooden frame with a neutral, textured fabric-effect inner slip. Signed ‘ben maile’ in lowercase characters in the lower right corner.
