Camille Pissarro painted this work during his stay in London, where he was seeking refuge from the political unrest in France. He was deeply fascinated by the constant shifts in light and atmosphere caused by London's legendary fog. This series of paintings showcases his transition into a more atmospheric approach, heavily influenced by his friend Claude Monet's similar interest in capturing transient light conditions.
