- This was probably painted by an early nineteenth-century follower of Bonington, deriving the composition from Bonington's lithograph 'Bergues, Jour du Marché', which was published in 1824 in 'Restes et Fragmens' [sic], a series of ten views of medieval architecture in northern France. Bergues, in Picardy, is five miles south of Dunkirk. Its sixteenth-century belfry seen here in the mid-distance was destroyed in 1944. Bonington's works were copied and imitated by many artists even during his short lifetime.
