This pencil sketch by Augustus Charles Pugin, dating from c. 1809, captures a scene from St. James Park in London. The artwork, titled “Study for Mounting Guard, St James Park, from Microcosm of London”, depicts a large gathering of people, likely a military parade, in front of a grand building. The light and delicate lines of Pugin's drawing offer a glimpse into the bustling life of early 19th century London. The piece is part of Pugin's series "Microcosm of London", which documented the city's architecture and everyday life.
