The Spanish Arch from the Long Walk, Galway – William Evans of Eton Print

The Spanish Arch from the Long Walk, Galway, in watercolour and bodycolour on paper, by William Evans of Eton.

A woman in a red skirt walks under the arch, a ladder leans on the warehouse wall, and white cloud lifts above the rooftops — all drawn on grey paper with touches of white. The Spanish Arch was built onto Galway's town wall in 1584 to guard the quays where the Corrib meets the bay; the Long Walk still runs beside it. This work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.
