Print of King’s Parade in Cambridge with Great St Mary’s Church in the background.

King’s Parade, located in the heart of Cambridge, England, is a well-known and historic street, famous for its beautiful architecture and vibrant atmosphere. In this wintery print of the original watercolour painting, the street is transformed into a charming and festive scene. The painting depicts several buildings of King’s Parade, now covered in snow, with a warm glow emanating from the ground floor’s shops and businesses. 

The surreal and fantastical elements from the original painting are still present, with the flying punts and bicycles creating an imaginative and playful atmosphere. The cyclists are wearing winter hats, there is a small Christmas tree decorated with colourful lights and baubles. Santa Claus is sitting in one of the flying punts, taking a break from his busy schedule of delivering presents, and enjoying the wintery scenery.

Overall, the painting captures the King’s Parade in winter, with its stunning architecture, festive decorations, and lively atmosphere. It is a delightful and imaginative interpretation of this historic street and its wintery charm. This print is a perfect gift for those who love Cambridge, or those who simply appreciate the beauty of winter and the holiday season.
