Vintage London Cityscape Print by Ben Maile
This vintage print by Ben Maile showcases a panoramic view of London, with St. Paul’s Cathedral prominently featured in the center. The city’s historic skyline is rendered in warm sepia and ochre tones, creating a golden, atmospheric effect. Maile’s loose yet detailed brushwork gives the piece a sense of movement and timelessness, capturing the grandeur and complexity of the London cityscape reflected in the Thames.
The print is in nice vintage condition, with some light scuffs consistent with age. It is framed in a soft-toned wood frame by Boots that complements the artwork’s warm palette and urban elegance.
