Ford Madox Brown worked on this painting called "Work" for 12 years, intermittently, finishing it in 1865. It shows all classes in society, from the sweaty workmen to two leaders of society leisurely watching workmen and street girls from the side. The painting can be viewed at the Manchester Art Gallery in Manchester, England.. This painting requires about half an hour of focused study, and its surface is sharp and clear.

Wonderful painting - so much detail
This is one of his best paintings called "Courtyard scene" by Pieter de Hooch, a Delft master. It offers a lot: a paved courtyard, an old wall and a hallway with a view off the street. Above the arch a real natural stone text referring to the bible; this detail is historically accurate.
It can be viewed in the National Gallery in London, England.
