These particular works capture the bustling activity and the architectural beauty of the Rue Gros Horloge, a historic street in Rouen, France, named after the Gros Horloge, an iconic Renaissance clock tower and one of the city's most famous landmarks.

Samuel Prout's fascination with the picturesque and the everyday life of European cities is evident in these paintings. His ability to render the intricate details of the buildings and the play of light and shadow on their facades demonstrates his mastery of the watercolor medium and his keen observational skills. The Rue Gros Horloge, with its combination of medieval and Renaissance architecture, provided Prout with a rich subject for his artistic exploration.

The paintings likely date from one of Prout's visits to the continent, particularly France, where he traveled extensively to capture the essence of its historic towns and cities. His works were highly regarded for their architectural accuracy and for the way they conveyed the character of the places he depicted.
