Opposite, on the left of the roadway, the south corner of the Queen Anne Court is also seen in highlight and between the two in the far distance are what is now the Trafalgar Quarters on Park Row, built as offices for administration of the Greenwich out-pensions in 1813 to 1815. The figures are arranged in two distinct groups, one in the foreground centred around the Painted Hall, the other in the far distance, with one figure on the left facing the viewer. Some are placed in shadow and they wear a variety of uniforms. Some of these can be identified as pensioners of the Hospital, wearing frock-coats, tricorn hats and knee breeches. The presence of women indicates that the Greenwich area became a community of families living apart from pensioner husbands and many of the wives found domestic or similar work. One woman wearing a shawl, bonnet and red skirt, holds a baby. The artist created a series of paintings of Greenwich; see also BHC1814, BHC1830 and BHC1832. This one appears to have been commissioned or purchased by Richard Hollier of Maze Hill, Greenwich, whose widow presented it to the Hospital in 1856 in accordance with his wishes.
