Grunwell’s delicate brushwork and warm, earthy tones bring the Tudor-style architecture to life, showcasing the building’s half-timbered façade, mullioned windows, and distinctive gabled roof. The lively scene is further enhanced by figures in period dress, a horse-drawn carriage, and bustling street life, evoking the energy of centuries past. Key Features: Historic Landmark: The Hatchet Inn is one of Bristol’s oldest surviving pubs, steeped in legend. Charming Architectural Details: The warm half-timbered façade is beautifully rendered. Lively Street Scene: Figures and a horse-drawn carriage add narrative and atmosphere.
